Hello all, I should be getting my 2200kv mmm combo next week, and I am looking for a good 6s setup. I currently have a pair of spc 2s 8000's and a set of ma 2s 8000's and I am running a hv 5.5. I would like to run the mmm on 6s on occasion, so I was hoping you guys could give me some advice on some good 3s packs for this set up.
thanks.

here you go,
im looking at either of these packs as well - SPC is awesome! i run the SPC 7.4 8000 packs... and i have heard great things about the *****s..
here are two good choices.
SPC 5000mah 3s1p 15c
********* - ***** 5000mah 3s1p 15c
just remember with the MMM and 6s to be careful as it has been named a drivetrain killer :D

Hey YZ, I don't have any first hand experience, however have seen several people recommend the ***** 3s pack from *********: http://www.*********.com/*********/s...idProduct=6350 (http://www.*********.com/*********/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6350)
People seem to like them, and they fit the ERevo. Like I said, I have not run them, but I did order a set of them this morning to go with the E-Revo that I hopefully will be getting before Christmas. Take it for what it's worth, but I read enough good reports that I bought a pair...

Most people hate Venoms but I love running my Venom 3S 5400 lipos in my E Revo.
If you do decide to go with *****s, keep in mind that these ship directly from Hong Kong via snail mail and it takes 3-5 weeks to get your batteries.

thanks for all the imput. I was looking at both the spc and ***** packs. I have spc 8000's and have had no problem with them. I would like to try the ***** packs but hearing about the time it takes to ship them I think I'll go with the spc.

I really like SPC lipos,but would not recommend the 5000 for use with the MMM.I've talked to Tom about them,and while geared conservativly they would work,they really aren't in the specs of the system.CC recommends at least 75 amps,and thats the minumum I would go with.Think *****.

120 Amps constant, never even get warm.
240 amp burst!

I hate my Venom Nimd because they where meant to be 5000mAH but read @ 4100mAh and the other is 3908 mAH out of the box :(

3-5 weeks?! I got mine in one week! :) Might be because I live in Washington State.
They are SO CHEAP, and SO AWESOME! I'm buying from them again in the future!

Are you warried about the missing of an hard case ?
Are you sure they deliver only from Hong Kong ?
Those Zippies seem really a deal, could you give us a short feedback plz ?
It that the only ***** dealer ? I live in Europe
Can they be shipped with Traxxas connectors ?
Thanks

Well, the packs I bought are no longer available anymore, but they did have A LOT of kick in them. I busted 45 MPH easy on those packs on a Twin VXL system. They fit perfectly, but there was one SLIGHT problem. The wires were HUGE, so I had to cut a piece of the door on the battery bay.
In any case, I'm positive they ship from Hong Kong since that's where the tracking of the package began. They're so cheap, I ended up paying the extra $20 for speedy delivery. I paid like $230 for FOUR packs! They were like $53 each.
I believe they do ship to Europe. You can e-mail them and ask yourself.
I'm not 100% sure if they are the only dealers, but they are by far the cheapest.
oh, and I'm not worried about them not having a card case... the reason is I find it difficult to know if they are ballooning with a hard case.
I've had my 4 packs for a few months now, and I still love them!
Cold weather has drop the performance though, but I've been told that happens with LiPo batteries in cold temps.
I do have intentions of buying a pack of those blue ***** packs for my MMM. Never had a problem with *********, and their price is just amazing.
you can make a living off buying batteries from them, and selling them for $50 more, and they would still be cheap!
