On a mission to find the batteries i want... if they exist.

well have made the foray into a pair of 5s1p 30c 5000 mah zippys. now to wait for the shipping which is always the hard part. so can you guys tell me what power i can expect compared to my humble 5s2p 4600 mah a123 cells? would it be murder on the truck running them in parrallel or pure idiocy? i got some more parallel cables in case.

this will be the litmus test to decide if i kep the li-po or the a123s.

thanks chaps.

well the 5s1p 5000mAh battery packs arrived today, both of them. firstly i cant believe the weight difference even with 5s 123 vs the 5s lipo. the lipos seemed heavy at first then comapred to running 5s2p 123, they are 60% of the weight. i am so glad not having to run 2p anymore. it would be insane but would be risky because the cells are so high.

the power!!!!...even with 50% punch control... damn i even started slipping the clutch which i had to tighten. pick a rev and blip the throttle and the revo front is instantly skyward. where has this car been all my life. this is truly insane, the madness hasnt started yet but when it wears off, i see some 8000 or even 10000 mAh packs coming in the pipeline.

thanks again tdc and guys for the pointers. :P
