60C really?

Burst rating does makes sense though. If you go by the runtime vs pack capacity calculation, most people are running an average of under 20A in a typical 8th scale setup, but the bursts are 6-8 times higher.

I'm not gonna flame your product, but I do have older generation cells (5Ah and 8Ah) that do not come close to achieving the rated output without heavily dropping voltage and increasing temperatures. I'm sure others have similar experiences and it can make one leary. I think that once people substantiate these new claims, they will feel more comfortable. However, I do think prices are kinda high, especially with the new Hyperion G3 series which perform exceptionally well for less money.

+1 the new Hyperion g3 vx are amazeing (this comeing from a guy that has 6 MA packs lol)

the 4cell 4200 is 65c burst for only $133

and you have to love the Hyperion 5c charge rate too
