I wouldn't expect you to see any real difference between what is essentially two IDENTICAL battery packs of different brand/model; you should have tried the 35c or 65c packs vs your existing 25c packs.

I went with them because of capacity and they aren't really identical packs. They have same C rating but they market them as having lower IR which you would think should improve performance somewhat. Anyway that was in my old Revo. The Savages are way to heavy and demanding for 25C batts. I run normal Turnigy 5K 40C packs and they are excellent for my needs.

the best lipos I used ........ real life cycle of +400 (I tested) and much more hard than the "normal" zippy and turnigy .......... and 10c charge is great


for me the unic problem is are very long and isnt easy fit in a lot of rcs

pd: I have 12 packs of 3300, 4000, 5000, and 6000 mah .....

You are so full of it.

I watched that Hobbyking nanotech vs. TP pack video a few months ago and can tell you that it was completely rigged. They pre discharged that ThunderPower pack to ~30% SOC and plugging the pack in and not seeing the rest voltage just reinforces that theory. Secondly, you notice how they don't even film the TP pack when they say it PUFFS? The voltage would not increase if it were fully charged when heating up, but it would if it was less than 50% SOC.

I wouldn't doubt that ANY pack would puff when discharged that deep, but not even showing it...

The video is a joke, and Nanotechs are garbage.

anyone tested the new a-spec nanotech lipos? ...... 20-25% lighter than the "normal" nanotech .... and more cycles of charge

That 6600 a spec nanotech looks interesting. The power to weight ratio they are claiming is incredible. The super short leads are a great idea.

Any feedback experience on the a-spec lipo dudes? I must decide which 2S lipos do I have to buy for my Xray T3...

The Power to Weight ratio is insane. At 130C its nearly 40kW/kg
That is almost twice the ratio of "MaxPuffs" 150C bateries or GensAce 120C

I cant believe this. The highest power to weight ratio battery I found on Wikipedia is 21kW/kg

Another weird thing is that other A-spec batteries are around the same as other brands:

A-spec 6S 5Ah 65-130C = 19.5kW/kg
GensAce 6S 5.3Ah 60-120C = 20kW/kg
MaxAmps 6S 5.45Ah 150C = 23.7kW/kg

You do know you will never reach this power density number. First, 130C battery performance will never be the same from brand to brand. Secondly, at 130C your connectors and wires will be so hot that it would be burning the insulation right off, so don't use the burst current ratings... ever. Thirdly, the voltage drop at 130C will be so astronomical that it would make it noting short of useless in any application. The max ratings for batteries these days should only be the continuous C rating, which is 65C for those nano-techs. Compared to the cell IR of other top brands such as ThunderPower and Hyperion, nano-tech packs are very overrated.

You must be behind in todays techonolgy. Have you not seen the advertising for MaxAmps batteries? True 750C power racing Lipos. Everything you just stated goes against what they are telling everyone is fact. They can't be wrong because they have been the hands down winner for what, the last five years running as the peoples choice for Lipo packs world wide, right? Are you saying they are lying to the public? Ha ha ha ha ha ha


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.

turnigy nanotech 6000 3s 25c .......................475gr .............(1º carga 5980 mah)
turnigy nanotech 5000 3s 65c ...................... 430gr ............(1º carga 5100 mah)
turnigy nanotech A-SPEC 6600 3s 65c ...........430gr .............(1º carga 7250mah)
