Linc, yeah I agree with you completely, the throttle feel on A123's is a bit of a drop off, like it's not proportional, more like a curve that drops off at the top end. Even 2p like you said doesn't compare with these... it would take a 7s5p A123 pack to match the voltage holding ability of this pack, crazy. Sure you can get alot of 'power' out of a M1 cell, but it's not real world usable, especially for this application.

Metalman, you used to have a 5s2p 7XL setup correct? Funny, same as what I used to use... however, it does have more power than my 1512/3D with a 7s2p pack, call me crazy, but it did, hands down I could wheelie at almost any speed. Must have been a good setup to use the "C rating" aspect of the A123 cells, rather than it's voltage holding ability.

I will be back later with a good moderate power run with the Eagletree, and if I feel like it, I might shoot a short adult film... of the truck of course.

where are you guys buying the G3 packs? i have a brand new 5s 4200mah one for sale and i just want to be sure my price is competitive with whats available out there.

I got my two 3s packs from aircraft-world.com. They are in Japan, but they have very decent shipping rates, and FAST as well, got my packs in 4 business days. $35 for shipping IIRC.

Sure did, in my Revo. Have 2 sets of those batteries, and after the Revo 3.3 conversion was gone I put BOTH sets in my Savage, as 10s2p A123. Then my Savage went down to 10s1p A123 (new pack) until one cell died to give it 9s1p. Now my Savage runs 8s 3700mah 20C Lipo and the power is enormous with great runtimes, and MUCH lighter than with A123.
