What 2s Lipo? With performance over price.

**Traxxas Addict** · 10-21-2008 08:03 PM

Ok, suppose you got a small inheritance / won the lottery and you wanted to buy some kick **** 2s Lipos. Performance over price being the main driver. What would you get? Enerland? Team Orion? Kokam?

**mkrusedc** · 10-21-2008 08:46 PM

Enerland, Kokam or NuEnergy.

**brushlessman** · 10-21-2008 08:53 PM

***** ! or enerland flight power or thunder power

**mkrusedc** · 10-21-2008 08:55 PM

FlightPowers are great I have been using them for over a year.

he wants the best lipo ratings he can get! go with the thunder power!

**HoovHartid** · 10-21-2008 10:36 PM

Of everything I read, the best cells are made by enerland.

If I understand correctly, FlightPower, TrekPower, ThunderPower, PolyQuest are all enerland cells.

**brushlessman** · 10-21-2008 10:39 PM

No flight power makes there own cells I'm pretty sure.

**mkrusedc** · 10-21-2008 10:54 PM

Here you go. TrakPower and FlightPower are made by the same company. The Trak batt is the truck/car battery and the Flight is the flight battery.

OMGI'm so sorry! (stupid iphone)

**Traxxas Addict** · 10-22-2008 10:23 AM

Thanks for the responses guys. How do you wire up the Trakpower batts? Bullet connectors on the battery end and Traxxas connectors on the other? Can these be ordered or do you have to make them? Do they become a tight fit in the battery compartment? I saw someone elses thread on how they modified their battery compartment vents to run their wires.

I found the thread on the Polyquest lipos and they are definitely on the radar.

Cheers!

Unfortunately MA has proven that you can't trust their specs. It would be interesting to see how well those perform for the money invested.

To get the very best, I would stick with the proven commodities for my money though: Enerland based packs.

I got some 3S 11.1V 5000's coming soon, so how will they more my E Revo with stock and soon Vtwin Velineon's?

With stock, you will fry your ESC. Its good for 16.8V, and you will run 22.2 using 2 11.1v batteries

On twin VXL's you will be happy.

**brushlessman** · 10-22-2008 03:58 PM

you dont know until you try! get the maxamps i just found these! they look good 30c http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-6500HC-74-Pack.htm

**The Oracle** · 10-22-2008 04:42 PM

Trouble is, many people have tried- there are numerous threads showing how poor the performance of MA lipos are compared to equal or even lesser spec'd lipos, people like you just refuse to listen and carry on believing that MA are the best, regardless of whatever evidence and testing anyone else produces; thats known as being a fanboy.

MA are over overpriced, and are over rated, fact.

Yes! I will back you up 100%. MA packs are junk. Over rated, and WAAAAY over priced for what they are. They put out 15-17C at BEST. When you can buy something like ***** lipos for less then half the price, and have a way better lipo

**brushlessman** · 10-22-2008 07:17 PM

*****s are great just wanted to help out the u.s. economy

**Traxxas Addict** · 10-22-2008 07:25 PM

Yep, they sure do. So does SPC's cells, but they actually work well without failing.

**trxbeast193** · 10-22-2008 07:51 PM

I think i messed up that quote a bit...

**Silver_Flame** · 10-22-2008 07:54 PM

No, it will require a power supply.

I dont get it.

If a friend of mine stepped in a pile of dog poop and showed me where it was, I would make sure I never step in it.

Some people are just determined to clean their shoes.

I wish people would read up and expand their research. It would prevent them from making bad decisions.

**slvrbowtie** · 10-23-2008 12:56 AM

i have true rc batts and they work great 2s2p 15c 8000 great power great run times with the neu 1515 1.5d i get lie 40 min. at 40+ mph

**nitrolijah72** · 10-23-2008 01:31 AM

I have the SPC lipos and I love em....and I vote against MA as well. Not worth the money and all of the RCCA awards are not even a true indicator of the quality of the batteries....Heck I voted for the some products that I liked and never even owned yet!!!

Forums are better indicators of whether or not something is a user's choice product or not.......

**Dragonfueled** · 10-23-2008 04:22 PM

Spc's have been good to me

**jacko** · 10-23-2008 05:03 PM

+1 on SPC too. On my brushed setup highest i've seen it is 110F
