Trakpower 700 watts? not really.. they claim to stay above 3V on 50C bursts. that would make a 2S pack a 1400watt burstpack.. Have not seen any graphs confirming this, but this was told by flightpower.

i mean 700 watt continu. maybe more.
i have a truck with 6" tires, 3.31/1 diffs and 2.36/1 tranny.
spur is 50, pinions from 17~22 fit.
that leave's me with a range of 22.99/1~17.76/1.

Your Kyosho truck is so light that the TrakPower is surely going to make it fly like a hawk.

Bottom line:

BUY IT WITH MY THUMB UP!

should i stick to 4s for the trakpower packs?
cuz i cant go to 6s if i would get the trakpower, i can only mount 2 batts.

New 20C MaxAmps Lipo 6000HV 2S2P 7.4V Pack
how does this one compare to the trakpower?

The trak powers hold their voltage better under discharge.

jollyjumper · 02.16.2007, 01:26 PM

thanks.

Serum · 02.16.2007, 02:00 PM

yeah.. much better.

Hopefully the 5000's offer more power. perhaps they are an option.

But 4S is quite a hand full already, 6S is a whole different bag.

I would take a smaller step, so 5S is a good in betweener..

I'm thinking I sould try a 5s pack of these new cells and drop the gearing in my buggy/truggy. I'm curious to see how much the runtime is affected.

At 4s, the 5000mah may barely make the 20 min mark, but maybe I could drop the mah per minute just a bit with a lower gear/high volt. I'm not sure if the gearing will offset the potenial of higher current from the higher voltage.

jollyjumper · 02.16.2007, 04:39 PM

i'll go for 4s.

Then i think the LHS is where you need to be.

jollyjumper · 02.16.2007, 06:16 PM

yeah, there are numerous shops in belgium that sell flightpower.
but does this mean they will also have trakpower?
i would want 2 packs and the balancer.
i do know a shop in holland does the trakpower packs and balancer.
