Whats the best packs? Who makes them?

[all in]

Good question what are the lipo and Nimh pack everyone is having the best luck with

[smm_cbf]

venoms get hot on runs and will melt the wraping, (happened to me) , but other than that their fine, the only thing i don't like is the 6c discharge rate but i do get londer run times, so i use them in mt scat cat in rough water, so i can slower over the water and have time to have fun with it.

Bad URL. Got another one?

Has anyone tried www.excitebatteries.com for LiPo's. I am looking to upgrade from NiMH to LiPo. From what I hear stock set up with two 7.4v 3300mAh and a balanced x642 prop I should see mid to high 40's. Also, does anyone recommend a good recreational LiPo Charger?

Just having fun on the pond

Don't waste your money on a 'recreational lipo charger" . Get a good one. One that will never be obsolete is the Xtrema. It's $189 but it will charge up to 10S, 8A lipos! Mini Cat Racing sells them. www.minicatracingusa.com

I never realised that venom battery's were so dodgy, I have never used them myself but I have see n many guys running them in lso boats. They ran really well too.

IMO if you change the prop its no longer a stock set up
stock is what comes out of the box prop and all!

I share your opinion but most people are saying you can change the prop and still be stock. Not sure about running lipos being stock though!

A friend of mine bought the new E-maxx and some Venom batteries it ran ok. I let him use some IB 4200's the performance was a big difference, then I handed him a 4s pack to try, he was disapointed that he bought those Venoms.

A poorly done metal prop can be worse than the stock plastic one therefore it wont run like the stock set up. a properly done prop will yeild better results than the stock plastic one. but than its not the stock is it.

Lipos or Nimhs... they are a power source and the esc is set up to take either if you get the program card!

I like my 2s 8k MaxAmps packs and Hyperion DUO charger. Just got my 3s 8k packs, now I need the Hydra 120 so I can swap motors and really tear up my boat. MaxAmps has a 8k 25C cell now too. They called me the other day because a charger/battery combo I ordered for a TRX 'Pede comes with TRX connectors instead of my usual Deans. How's that for on the ball customer service?
