Default Big Cheap LIPO!

Want some fresh power for your basher?

http://holmeshobbies.com/home.php?cat=10

I have super cheap lipo cells. Hows about 8000mah 10C at 7.4v for $59? These are genuine Enerland cells, it comes as two seperate packs. Both stacked are only a hair taller than a 6 cell sub C pack, but have the same footprint. Uses hyperion/ polyquest taps. Battery plugs not included in price.


Contact me via email through JRH at Holmeshobbies.com or via PM if you have any questions about the cells.

8000??? Jeebus.... Are you gonna have anything smaller? Something like the 4000mah would work for me I think...

JRH hooked me up with a killer set up. It is killer fast. I can't remember what it is maybe he remembers or I can check tonight.

The packs are actually two 4000mah packs that you will need to run in parallel. For a fast car 8000mah is needed to support the amp draw. For a slow car you could get away with just one pack.

8000mah weighs 13 ounces @ 7.4v. I can get three cell packs too. Each individual cell is basically $15.

BD, I think you have a 380C-7 motor, but it might be a 6 turn. I cant remember anymore.

I went back and looked at my buildup thread and it's a Feigao 380C-67 with a Quark 80 esc. Mike, you should contact JRH it is a killer set up.

Can they be made into a 4s pack? I don't need the 8000mah as much as the 14.8volts. I might be getting Lipo sooner than I thought.

Yes, you could daisy chain the two in series for 4s 4000mah power. What motor would this be pushing? I might still recommend 8000mah since the cells are only 10C capable.

Your packs actually have more punch, Unholy. They are 12C cells. If you ever run them dead let me know

that's going to require more finesse or a stronger transmission...

I lack finesse so transmission parts are on the way!

If someone where to run two 6 cell packs running _____ means same voltage, higher MaH?

If I took a XRS and ran 2 6c packs in __?___ it wouldnt burn up?

Your blank = Parallel

To answer the question about the XRS burning up, that depends on the load. Some ESC specify a mAh rating as they don't like to be run for a longer time.

Most of the time running two packs in parallel isnt worth the weight gain. With these lipo cells, it is needed for go fast cars. Even with 7.4 volt 8000mah the Lipos I am selling weigh only 14.25 ounces with wire. Compare that to a 7 cell 3700 pack that weighs over 1 pound. You will have higher voltage under load and more than TWICE the runtime for LESS weight. Compare the prices too, a handbuilt 7 cell pack will run at least $60. There was a reason I never got into lipo until now, and it was the Cost vs. watt/hour of the packs.

If you want, but expect to pay twice as much or get half the capacity.
