DSC02846.JPGRand,
I picked up some of these 2S 40C packs. Good punch so far. I've looked over the one you pictured for a spec battery & might give it a try based on the price & local shipping.2008 NAMBA P-Mono & P-Offshore Nat'l 2-Lap Record Holder; '15 P-Cat, P-Ltd Cat 2-Lap

Gens Ace ROCK!!!!!! I love them! My Data logging shows they provide better performance then Turnigy packs! Less voltage drop underload and increased performance!Comment

I was wondering if the amp rating could be trusted? I know you never try to pull max., but with two of these packs in paralleled could I feel safe to pull 175 to 200 amps?
I almost always buy Pollyquest 25C packs and can use them for two to three years with no problems.Comment

No answers, 73 views, Can any one help?
I hate to invest to see if the cells are what they call them. but no info I had to try, I am running out of time. I just bought these to test and see of they are correctly rated. I will be pulling 175 to 210amps constant. with 2S2P

I don't think you will have any problems with a them at all. Run a 2p setup and your golden. I personally like the gens ace packs better then the turnigy packs. Here's a thread about these batteries http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...attery-Testing. I wouldn't hesitate running them.Comment

I've only used the Gen Ace 40C 2S 5000's in series in my SAW spec boat - the UL-1 motor with Brian's prop was probably pulling in the vicinity of around 80-100 amps in the short runs. Nothing ever got hot, batteries had good punch and got better after 5+ runs. I like them.2008 NAMBA P-Mono & P-Offshore Nat'l 2-Lap Record Holder; '15 P-Cat, P-Ltd Cat 2-Lap

I run those same packs 4s2p in a 32 mono w cc1515 2200kv. Although I don't data log I can tell you running low to mid 50s mph on a m545 my set up is never hot. Motor in the 80s esc in the 90s and cells in the 120° range.
I'm also getting the same performance from the sky lipos as well.
not racing so don't have enough cycles to know about longevity.white geico w/2200kv 3674 leopard 53.5mph 4s2p, geico w/ 1800kv outrunner 52mph on 4s2p, genesis w/2200kv castle 53.8 on 4s2p, impulse 31 w/2200kv castle, stock p1 and ul-1Comment

There are some new batteries just coming out. They have impressive specs and are attractively priced. They are shipped in the U.S. from a U.S. warehouse. I will be trying some soon.
There is an active forum on RC groups about the batteries. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...8#post19880728Mini Cat Racing USA

I need to break in the Turnegy and then test on my hot setups. Then if the 2S2P go OK I will look at the 4S2P for other setups. I still have to keep in mind that I gang the packs together to make 10S2P for some of my boats.Comment

Randy, FWIW I just got back from the lake where I ran my SAW Drifter with two 2S 40C 5000mah GenAce paks I bought used right here. They were superb !!
One thing to watch out for : some of the sku's have 4 mm wire plug-ins; others labeled "Direct" have thicker wires soldered intetrnally. Just so you know.2008 NAMBA P-Mono & P-Offshore Nat'l 2-Lap Record Holder; '15 P-Cat, P-Ltd Cat 2-Lap
