opinions about batteries....

I believe that amp draw absolutely, it may not be 10% accurate but between 110 and 120A for sure, from the pace that I was lapping the rest of the field (that are pulling an average of around 70A) I knew straight away that I was going to be very short on run time and was surprised that I lasted as long as 3 minutes. I don't ever measure the pack temperatures, even when I run with Eagletree the temp goes on the motor, it was the hottest LiPo i have personally felt though and must have been close to the 60degreec maximum most cell manufacturers advise, and based on that I don't believe the full 30C rating could be sustained for the full discharge without pack damage. I set my LVC to 3.4v for fun and 3.3v for racing, when running 10 secoond laps a few seconds can make a big difference, but from my experience of these cells what is left after 3.3v isn't worth having.

I gave details and figures for the 5000s earlier.
