Received My New Hyperion Batteries

In a 1/8th scale truck they need a little less diameter, I believe that is why Neu made these motors. For us boaters I think a larger can helps keep the motors cooler.

Or vice versa

Detox,

How are the G3's working for you? What rate are you charging at?

So far so good. I charge @1c rate.

Here's fine print at bottom of Hyperion application PDF page:

NOTE: All Ri figures are from an average of NEW packs measured on the production line. Your Hyperion G3 pack - when used as is
normal in flight applications - will likely continue to decrease in resistance over the first 40~100 cycles. We recommend a five-flight
"break in" for G3 lipo, during which charge rate should be limited to 3C or less, and in-flight throttle management by the pilot should
avoid drawing maximum currents for extended periods.

Problem is must FE boaters don't know what "throttle management" means. It's balls to the wall.

Otherwise known as the boat being most efficient at WOT...

No disputing that, it's just that the batts can't be expected to last as long in a boat as in an airplane!

I received another set of 3300 mah 4s packs. I am going to run them with the Eagle Tree this weekend to compare them to the Elites.
