Looks good! Can you give me the specs on the lipos?

[dana]

Sky lipos 5000mah 40c. Two 2s packs series. They were 26 bux each

[Rich]

Really? How do you like them? I am looking for some new 5s 5000 40c for my MM. Where did you get them?

[dana]

I am happy. Good so far-). Hobbypartz man, plus free shipping over 100 bux. They are located in Cali, so shipped in 5 days to my door.

Haha! Thats where I got my Blue lipos from. Do you have the Fast charge Skylipos?

[dana]

I dunno... I just always have balance charged every time. I outta find out. They have what you're looking for tho. 60 something bux

[Rich]

I was just looking at them haha. I have a Gens Ace 3s 5000 40c for my stampede 4x4. It works good. I was thinking of going with the Gens Ace 5s 5300 30c for my mean machine and saw the sky lipos and wondered how you like them. The vid for the sky lipos says you can charge at 3c...

[dana]

3C means what? I balance charge at 5 amps

[Rich]

Lets say you have a 5000mah pack. The normal charge rate is 1c, which is 5 amps. A battery that can be fast charged at 3c or 5c (most maxamps lipos and gens ace lipos) can have a charge rate of 3c x 5.000 amp hrs = 15 amps or 5c x 5.000 amp hrs = 25 amps Do you get it?
