Emoli cells are incredible! -

As you may have read in the recent power tools thread, I bought a Milwaukee V28 pack to use the Emoli li-ion cells in it. The pack has 7 cells, and I bought a single 8th cell online so that I would be able to make a 4s2p pack. That would be 14.8V and 6000mah. I first tried out the cells in a 4s1p configuration in the hope that I would have a lightweight battery. In my 9L-powered MT2, the 4s1p pack propelled it to 48 mph according to my gps. My prior batteries were 12 zapped, matched IB3800 cells, which have been able to push the truck to 50.4 mph.
Yesterday I tried out a 4s2p emoli pack for the first time. All I can say is DAMN! These cells are awesome when paralleled together! :027: My MT2 hit 59.6 mph!!! I got an extra 9 mph over my IB3800 cells! And that was from my first try. Unfortunately, my run ended with the truck going into a dry ditch and breaking a front arm and shock, so I didn't get to try again for an even higher speed.
Next I'll try the 4s2p emoli pack in my Stampede. The IB3800 cells got my pede up to 54 mph, so I can't wait to see what the emolis will do for it.
To summarize: Forget lipos. GO BUY SOME EMOLIS!!! :018:
