Fantastic man! Sounds good and looks killer!

[Bande1]

looks really nice. and fast too! was that 10s?

[pescador]

That was 10s but I?m having trouble finding any more big high ?C? 5s packs that will work since Revolectrix closed, I have a bunch of 4s and 6s and they seem to be easier to source so I might have to change it up.
The motor kv is Namba legal for 8s but it sure rips on 10s. 😀

I have a half dozen 4s packs I got on prime day for $60 a set. recently I picked up a half dozen of these to make 10s

just two 4s and a 2s. I push about 5500w @ 55-58mph with them. not the greatest im sure but they're $25 a set (or they were)

put them in my 6s rigger today for the first time and lapped 7 laps at 66mph they didnt even get warm.

That sounds promising, I have 4?s and 6?s but I was chicken to try a 10s combo with them 😀 Thanks

haha No, the battery fairy comes in and sucks yer soul out while yer sleeping.

An old battery supplier dude once told me that batteries with different mah will deliver different voltage under load. Basically the stronger cells will press voltage back into the lower mah cells in an effort to balance everything out. Might be minuscule but in theory would make for nasty ripple into your ESC. Ripple kills.

I honest to goodness have ZERO data to back that up but I had so much faith in the genius that told me that I never asked again. I asked about battery police coming after me at the time. He saw no humor in my question.

For the record.......I made up the battery fairy. Although.........how do they puff up when not running, not charging, nobody around? Battery fairy?

That's a beautiful rig Pescador. I would love one in 1/10 scale.
