| Anyone seen this?
If these are any good they maybe a good pick for us cheapo guys I personally have had good results with Rhino's, and for the price, they seem like a pretty darn good deal if you asked me http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...9608&aff=34770 3S (as of posting is out of stock but if you put an order in they will ship it as soon as they get them in stock ) http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...9607&aff=34770 (who uses 2S anyway... ) I plan to pick up a 3S once they come in stock so I can really do some abuse testing on them. If the 40C is "true" (or close to true, HC seems to be pretty accurate on their ratings ) in my experence |

Ive been using the 30c rated ones for a while, they work very well. Im sure the 40c will be great. Im running a Holmes Handwound 35T on an FXR with CCBEC.

I have run the 20C which was "ok" but when you got that car in a bind, hello lack of amps . I have to say unless your running like a 1500+, 30C is a must or your going to find out real fast what a lack of power is like |

I've looked at those a few times, I've never saw 'em in stock yet. The 40 C cont. is good, but there only 50 C burst which is kinda weak. I just ordered some Thunder Power 850 45/90 C's, thier much smaller, only pass 4 amps less cont. and burst 24 more amps. Hyperion G3 VX 1100 are about the same size as the Rhino's, pass a 1/2 amp more cont than the TP and 4 less amps burst (still 19 amps more than the Rhino's) and break in the middle cost wise (36.99 TP and 27.95 Hyperion both 3s)

Well a 1000 mah at 40C continuous = 40A output and 50A Peak... I would "think" that would be enough . I was thinking more in terms of the budge guys who want a good low priced lipo but don't want to go shelling out $$$$. I have seen those but thought the 90C was a bit of a stretch Heck I ran a 20C 1,000 3S in my ax10 and it worked fine for general crawling, except when I got the car in a bit of a bind did I feel the lack of power . Even then if I was careful I could generally get the car out without issues. I think the torn battery tab was more of a pain |
