**asheck** · 07-31-2008 07:47 PM

Either spc 8000mah 2s lipos or http://cgi.ebay.com/7-4V-12C-8000mAh...QQcmdZViewItem I have used both flawlessly .

**malcnz** · 07-31-2008 08:11 PM

awesome I was wondering that to as have 6.5 on the way and have spc batteries on the way to so it looks like they will be happy together.

**ERevoaddict** · 07-31-2008 08:16 PM

Another option as you stated you need would be the Maxamps 2s 8000mah packs. I run them and love them.

Great performance with awesome run times! MA's customer service is beyond reproach as well.

I see on the site they say the battery boxes need some modding to get them to fit. What modding needs to be done to get these to fit? Just curious. Thanks

**jayjay283** · 07-31-2008 08:33 PM

take off the black plastic hold down pieces in the battery box

**HoovHartid** · 07-31-2008 08:34 PM

I didnt do anyhing but take out the plastic spring clip from the top

**ERevoaddict** · 07-31-2008 08:35 PM

Hoov how do the batteries handle the amp draw? You are running a Neu 1y right?

I think he's waiting on a new MMM.

**Wrathchild** · 07-31-2008 11:30 PM

I run the HV 6.5 system with a pair of Maxamps 2s 6000mah packs and love it.

**malcnz** · 07-31-2008 11:43 PM

Go the HV 6.5..seems to get bagged here

Haha, Hoov I think we're in the same boat:

Went to upgrade speant $$$$ and then don't have a MMM to run it all, so we can't test anything...HA....

**1fasterevo** · 08-01-2008 12:29 AM

The SMC 2s 5000 28c packs are sweet iMO.. I love my maxamps 2s2p 8k packs as well... they are also outstanding. I raced w/ the smc's for the first time tonight and I like the way my truck feels w/ the reduced weight for sure. I could have easily finished a 20min main (ours was less tonight). You will need to go w/ the 8k packs though for a 30min main, it's the only thing making it the whole way. Of course bashing you'll get more time out of both packs.

**BUSTITUP** · 08-01-2008 04:30 PM

will these fit the e-revo and be ok with medusa 36-60-2000?

and will they be sufficient for a twin velinion setup in converted revo

I wouldn't get anything that can't do at least 120amps

mAH * C rating = amps

those SPC 12c 5k packs are good for 60amps at best 80amps if they are under rated.

You should be ok w/ the 8k 12c packs or the true rc 8k 15c packs or the maxamps 8k 20c packs or the SMC 28c 5k pack..

Am I reading that right, 3 Benjis for 1 battery. I'm by no means cheap, but holy crap.

**jayjay283** · 08-01-2008 09:39 PM

thats for the pair, still a rip for what you get from them

OKay that seems a little more reasonable.

**marksp** · 08-06-2008 10:48 AM

Enerland Racing Professional "XQ" Series Li-Poly Battery Pack 30C (7.4V - 5000mAh) look good with 150 amp maximum continuous discharge. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/27139

Just not certain how well it'd fit with those wires???

there was discussion about this awhile back. These packs use a "banana" style plug for the connectors to plug into the pack. There was concern that they would stick up too much to fit in the erevo compartments. I suggested using connectors like these;

then bending the wire like this before soldering it to the plug to make the as close to 90 degrees as possible;

I think someone did it, and it worked fine but I cant find the thread now...

**Revocanuck** · 08-06-2008 05:00 PM

If you using a mamba monster & a Neu motor you need a battery that can supply the power.Below is a quote from castle creations from another forum

The official stand of Castle is that any pack that can handle 75A continuous, and 150A peak is sufficient for use with the MMM.

**Suicideneil** · 08-06-2008 05:11 PM

Argh, I had a really good joke lined up too, but Im on 88% warning....

**jayjay283** · 08-06-2008 05:28 PM

Im at 78% warning from this forum and I dont even own an erevo. I feel my constructive criticism has been misconstrued.

**asheck** · 08-06-2008 05:29 PM

**asheck** · 08-06-2008 06:52 PM

I like where your going with that.Duct tape why didn't I think of that

**Suicideneil** · 08-06-2008 07:03 PM

Hmm, looks like a good way to build a 20s lipo setup, or dual motors with 10s escs perhaps?...

**HoovHartid** · 08-06-2008 09:49 PM

I should post this in the "crazy set-up ideas" thread

*I dedicate this one to GeoGenesis*
