Hot lipos

Being 1-2 years old doesnt help either, especially as the older maxamps lipos are particulaly... not good.

Yes, I agree, they are simply crap batteries.

If you want a good value battery go for some Turnigy, or Zippy flightmax packs from Hobbycity.... or if you want the best performance for twice as much then go for the Hyperion G3 packs, they really deliver the punch, and they have the best prices for the high end pack brands... neu, flightpower, polyquest....

Mike carries the Hyperion G3 packs. They are 35C/65C rated... and underrated IMO.

Those 500 cells are only good for about 80 amps, you need at least 150 amp capable batts to run the 1.5d. I had the same setup, and ran 6000 25c polyquest lipos in 4s to power it. The 1.5d can make power, but you have to feed it!

I would recommend the following as well.

Turnigy 4s1p 5000mAh 25c (these are matched cells)
Rhino 4s1p 5000mAh 25c
Zippy 4s1p 5000mAh 25c

All around $60 each and these cells hold close to 6000mAh HIGHLY recommend these cells. I run all of them.
