      Hey, thanks Rex. Just some info for anyone, I picked up some HPI 6 cell 3300 packs and they both took 3150mah first charge and got lowsy (<- spelling?) 4.5 minutes of runtime is a traxxas e-maxx. The truck is perfect but in my opinion the packs are weeeeek. I have nothing to compare that to yet but I will invest in hardpack Lipo.

        Why not run a BEC module ?, 14.4v input and you will get a constant 6v output. It also does'nt need to be charged
        Come to the FASST side

          The packs are definatly weak. I can run way over 12 min, more like 15 on a set of IB3600 7.2v packs. About 18 with the EP4500 7.2v packs.
