EKOS clone and upgrade questions.

Thanks for the info. that puts my mind at ease a bit.

I see a lot of guys that buy into the hype of the c-rating and spend lots of money on 45+c-rated lipos expecting to see gains in speed. But it doesn't always work that way. I like the gas tank analogy!

[JPriami]

I ordered the 45c packs because i was getting these packs for the new traxxas titan boat coming out. and someone from traxxas told me i should have 45c pack s at the minimum.

The only difference Ive seen in lipos is running them at 100 degrees as opposed to room temp.You can tell a difference in power.I never believed it before.

[JPriami]

so i should stick my lipos in the microwave and warm them up before i run them right lol. just kidding
I wonder if people that run at races use a warmer to keep them heated or something

[LarrysDrifter]

Last time I raced was about a month ago in the heat.Mine sat on my white pit table and got up to 100 degrees plus or minus a few.That was the 1st time I ran them that warm.I could definitely see the difference in power in my ul-1.Its worth trying after you get your new boat sorted out.

myheating pad wont be just for my back now lol

Sorry, but that is just b.s. Sounds like something my local hobby shop would tell me!

If you already bought them and didnt use them,see if you can send em back.I used to be into the whole "c" rating crap.Im not too sure I believe it.Maybe one can benefit from a high c rating when running 8s or more?

[JPriami]

too late. its the only packs i have for boats now. again im a gas/nitro guy (my rcu names says it NitroSS) so this is my 2nd venture into FE boats. I had to start over again and get new packs for the boats I was planning on getting. this one and the titan. im not getting the titan till i get this one working right and its fun. my first venture into FE was with a supervee 27 a few years back. when i sold it it was on hard times and the electric was the first to go.

C rating
You can never have too high a C rating (just costs more)
But if you have too low and try to draw more amps than the C rating allows things will get hot (some times too hot) :)

Well that tells you a little something about Traxxas
