    Also you batteries do not have enough capacity for what you are doing, the Graphene pack for Turnigy are not as good as they say... I use SLS Quantum cells

      Remember, he is only pushing a 34" hull on 8S. It's high for 8S and the caps are rated low. I don't think all the caps can be changed so the lower voltage ones on board will be a weak link.

        Any specific data behind why there so good those SLS once? :)
        So far i have been very inprrssed with my Graphene packs. I also have some Gens Ace Bashing 5,2ah, they keep LVC on the esc... :-/

            This was posted on Facebook by a reputable Hobby Shop in the UK

            An interesting email we had in the shop today from a Chinese car Lipo battery supplier. This obviously applies to other Lipos used in multicopters etc as well.

            "Now that RC has moved on to LiPo packs, it seems that marketing has created a lot of confusion and many customers who use LiPos get taken advantage of by marketing gimmicks such as Graphene . We are frequently asked when GPR will have so called Graphene packs , this made us realize that the marketing behind these packs works well as customers want to believe that there is something better available.We decided to purchase various packs from various companies and test them in a way that shows the pack’s data and performance for everyone to see.

            Our thoughts on Graphene are as follows. Graphene is supposed to increase the cell’s energy density and performance. All the so-called Graphene packs I tested to date have cells that are the same size and mAh as cells from a few years ago. If Graphene truly was used in these packs we would see an increase in mAh or the same mAh and a smaller size cell/pack, which isn’t the case. If you read up on LiPo studies and what is going on with LiPo technology there are only a few LiPo cells on the market that have Graphene, they just recently came out and based on the size, we tend to believe that they might have Graphene in them but these aren’t RC cells/packs. Samsung, a world leader in smartphones, has millions of dollars invested in battery technology to try and improve the cells they put in their phones. They recently announced that they finally found a way to use Graphene that made for a better cell. If a company like Samsung just figured out how to use Graphene to make better cells what are the chances that RC LiPo factories figured this out close to 2 years ago? In my testing of the Turnigy Graphene RC car hardcase packs I noticed they gave the same data and performance as the Turnigy Ultimate hardcase car packs.Once again this confirms our theory that there is no Graphene used in RC car cells/packs."

              As far SLS cells are concerned please look on there website there are links to website that need translating but are very informative. SLS have an excellent reputation in Europe with the fastest boats around me all using them.
