RX8 on fire

[Ola]

I`m not going for blame war`s, that i can promise you.
But if you cant trust manufacturers ratings up to a certain point, then i dont know how any normal hobby RC driver could be able to find a suitable battery without spesific recomending from the ESC manufacturer..

I would really like to get a name (and type) for a battery above 4500mah, both 2x 3s and 1x 5s, than can be run in a MT with large wheels and heavy gearing, without making ripple voltage and burn my ESC..

And just for the record, Castle say the exact same words.. Batteries kills ESC`s the most.. But they will neither speak of what batteries that are good enough.. For MT`s, they only say "30c 5000mah minimum"..

Normal people dont even know what ripple is, and they for SURE havent got the gear to measure it..

As I said before, you get what you pay for with batteries. There's a reason some mfg's don't charge as much as others.

I personally have had no issues with Protek's or Thunder Powers.

Tekin has been a pretty successful R/C company creating some of the best ESC's and motors in the business, so why don't you guys do a little expansion and come out with a line of GOOD Lipos in support of your great electronics? With the level of quality control already in place I bet you guys could kill in the Lipo market considering what your up against. I mean come one anyone can beat Maxamps working out fo some guys garage, and considering your race teams experience creating a line of Lipos in comparison to whats already out there should be a fairly easy business option. The only challenge would be doing it for a fair and reasonable price range. Being competitive and acquiring a fair market share would be the key. You guys already have a good reputation in the industry. So what do you say?
