Do you want a machined or hand wound motor?

A 1300 3s is what I typically run. You can get away with a 25c pack, but a 35c will have better punch and last more cycles. Many people work with smaller packs like 850s, but I don't recommend them unless you get free packs or plan to replace them every 30 runs or so. Going to a handwound puts more stress on the pack too, and that is all I run. With a machine wound you won't need quite so much pack power. |

I was running 55t machine wounds on 500mAh 3s lipo's,never had an issue Then I droped in a set of 35t handwounds,I still didnt have any issues though I did notice my cells was taking longer to balance. I'm using thise same batteries and I have used them for 13 reg comps,1 state finals,4 large comps and nationals and numerous fun runs. Now I have noticed a drop lately in thier performance,and I have killed 2 packes recently,I also only run one pack per course and plan on going up to 850's So I would say John is probably about dead on with the need to replace after about 30 cycles if ya go with a smaller mAh. | |

A good indicator is the pack temperature as well. If they warm up (or swell) during a run, the internal resistance isn't low enough to handle the load easily. While you can always go smaller than my recommendations, I typically will recommend a setup that gives a long reliable life for maximum $$ value. If you want maximum performance then things can be tweaked a bit, and component life will be shorter. Some people are totally OK with replacing a pack every 30 runs or replacing a motor every few hours of runtime.
