We would like to explore the use of electric storage in our next year’s competition plane. With today’s battery technology, is it realistic to have a 22.2V battery pack that can charge between 20-100A while weighing less than about three pounds? [...]
Word from MaxAmps is that if you have a Traxxas XO-1, you should think about their 9000mah 3-cell LiPo Pair. These are some BIG packs, so you’ll need to remove the lower part of the XO-1 battery tray to make these bad boys fit. Some stats on the packs: 100 C Rating, Lifetime Warranty, 5C fast charge compatable, waterproof, and 12AWG Deans [...]
