Default More than 10K mah on a 3C?

I was looking into MaxAmps 3C 10k mah lipo. Has anyone heard of a company that makes more than 10Kmah for a 3C? Thank You.

Heres the Lipo: http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-10000-111-Pack.htm

Ive never heard of such a thing in a reasonable size. It's probably enormous....

I guess it's good for those 8 hour R/c crawling expeditions

For that price you could get 4 or 5 Thunder Power 1320's which would give you 4 to 6 hours of crawling time. That thing is big (2.32"x6.22"x1.26") and heavy, not worth the performance sacrifice IMO. Also look into the Thunder Power 2000mah's, I get 2 hours out of those and they are a littel wider with the same length and height as the 1320.

so you are assuming this is going in a crawler???

AKRCC you could always parallel 2 of those packs.. chris is right size is gonna be a issue if you want more MAH then that.. but since the application is unknown maybe you have room..

It's a low C rated pack. The Elite 5300's are much bigger and a 30C pack. So for a 10,000mah pack to be truly 10,000mah, it would have to be twice the size or with these dimensions, 1/4 the C rating.... Probably would be a good pack for low amp draw situations to accomplish high runtimes. But even running it in a Brushless car you would only see 15-20 mins.... or 6 mins at the 100 amp constant they rate it at.

that explains the low price.. he would be way further ahead getting 6 5300's and doing a 3s 2p setup more MAH higher c rating little more cost but it is a much better pack..

Yeah if you want a good stout pack that is True C and Mah rated... But as I tell my customers... 10 AH is like running 2 5 AH packs.... so just get 2. Or I can easily build it into a 2P pack. I am going to use a 2S2P of them in a sand rail setup. But they are HELLA long! PM me if you have questions.
