And yes, maybe they will get the job done. The same as most other ~30C packs that cost about 1/10 the price will also get the job done. If MA was putting labels on turnigy packs they could put "True 300C" on them, because they prolly perform better than their packs.

I've been away at motorama for the weekend with Mike - Whilst the logging is fun once or twice I actually don't do it often and as there is no way to reset the logs from the rx its a PITA.

I'll try to do a BTB compare tomorrow...

These were the charts:

Is this a data log with the *150* C packs?
If so what is the Mah of the packs?
And how low is your cutoff set???

P.s. thanks for posting up a graph

I think the 150c packs are all 6500mah

Correct...

Unfortunately it snowed last night so a comparison set of charts is off for at least 2 weeks...

I'm on travel so I can't post the graphs but I'm seeing spikes above 200A consistently. I'm running a 5T (many aluminum goodies) with Thunder Power 50C batteries.

One question I did have was the sample rate, I assume all of the samples are point in time so the system simply does a read on the tick it should. I set the rate at the highest (100ms) to make sure I had the greatest chance of catching things but even paring down the values recorded still only results in ~8m of log time. Based on my work on programmable circuits I assume it's done this way given basic constructs however I wanted to mention it in case I'm off base.

I'll bring this thread back once again with this link to a thread I started on the Baja forum regarding ripple voltage data:

http://www.hpibajaforum.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=103238

Note that tuclai reports 12% maximum ripple voltage from a certain set of batteries.

hemiblas · 03.09.2011, 12:32 AM

Looks like your friend tuclai is in need of some 200C or better batteries. Give them another couple months and I'm sure they will have them out.

As unbelievable as things are with the way MA is trying to portray these "True 150C" Lipos I would not be at all surprized if next year they come out with an ad that shows a new set of Lipos that not only provide 200C continuous, but that if you stare at them long enough they will charge themselves without a charger. And on top of that it would be the same exact cells wraped in a new color flamed package. I am flabergasted to see the outright false advertising, disrespect to its customers, and poor business sense of this company, and even more so that everyone is buying their BS. If any of the major auto makers did this kind of advertising for one of their new Green cars there would be a major class action lawsute being shown on the 6 oclock news. The gaul of some people just amazes me. Not to mention the ignorance of others who would pay these prices for them, when we all know that you are able to purchase better quality cells for less.

You said it..

DrKnow65 · 03.09.2011, 10:20 AM

Hmmm, still hoping to see a side by side data log with some Turnigy lipo's.

Maybe the snow has melted?

josh9mille · 03.11.2011, 08:45 PM

So what ever happened to Brandon? He hasnt logged in for over 3 months. If I had the balls I would just walk over to MA and ask them whats up.

I probably would make a "friendly visit" if I lived by them.

So I saw MaxAmps over at RCX earlier today, forgot to get pictures but they were offering more gimmicks there. Free massages!! I guess people that buy MaxAmps packs need some stress relief when they blow up?

Forgot to get pictures, I wanted to call them out about their 150c rating but I decided why bother..

slimthelineman · 03.19.2011, 08:43 PM

Don't worry I will be there tomorrow and will grill them about their, well everything. Let's see if they have any real data at all to confirm this ludacris claim of 150c. We all know that it's bs but let's see what they come up with. Maybe I will film the conversation just to prove a point. Not expecting a good response but I don't care. Lord knows I'm a dick when I wanna be and they screwed me in the past like they have done to so many others so you could say they have it coming.
