10,000 mah traxxas lipo?

[Rapko]

Ok, I'm not the best at staying up-to-date with new rc items out but thought I'd share this for those of you who haven't seen this yet. Maybe it old news, IDK, lol...Traxxas 10,000mah Lipo?! First 10000 capacity I've ever seen. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBLNC&P=7

with a 27t stock motor 2wd onroad you'd probably wear out the tires or brushes before the battery died.

even bigger!

12800!

I don't really know what it would fit in though, it looks to be as big as a brick!

maxamps.com has had batteries over this capacity for awhile but i have been skeptically of there mah claims for awhile traxxas is the first big rc manufacturer to produce them that i know of ....

lol yeah, I missed that. My problem with larger capacity is that my erevo just can't fit them. Its the only thing I don't like about it. I run 5200 2s lipos now and they barelky fit. I have yet to find a 3s that will fit, well, team orion makes one but its 4700mah, and costs $150 per batt...PASS!

 

[joe]

id never have the time to run down one of those!
plus, theyre only 25c... bleh.

 

[Rapko]

yeah the 25c is the prob for me too. I run 40c or higher.

 

[Thunder VP]

yeah the 25c is the prob for me too. I run 40c or higher.

Yah, but remember, a 25C 10,000mAh will put out the same current as a 50C 5,000mAh.....and for twice as long.

 

[BlueIce12]

Dang how long would it take to charge those?

 

[carcrusher]

Same as any other pack when you charge them at 1c - you just need a charger that can charge at that high of a current.

10m amps baby!


This is where all those cheapy 50 watt limited chargers start to fall behind.

I run these 3s lipos in my slash and they are the same as any stick pack or 2s lipo

I did not know that. Thanks for the info!

$50 yup

Yeah thats not bad at all for 3s but its th 3300mah that prevents me from buying. I'm so spoiled by 5000+ mah now that I won't go any lower. Instead of an 8-10 min run I'm around 20-25 min...just can't compete with that, lol.

 

[rc_in_mexico]

I have an idea why doesn't someone put a 10000+ maH battery in a car or truck with a stock motor and normal gearing etc and run it down a country road or something until the battery dies. That would be kinda cool you'd just need a chase like a golf cart or a utv so you can drive the rc and someone else is behind the wheel because It's hard to steer both at the same time and steering an rc out of an enclosed car can be problematic

It was proved by a guy on you tube that the max amps was just BS and that even a cheapy china gens ace battery out preformed it lol
