Hi Trev,
I have tried a Maxamps 6000 mha in my ZX-5 for one of the last race we had here during summer. Man, i can cant wait for the winter season to start. Its simply awesome. I did 3 x 5 min practice + first qualification. Then charged the Lipo pack again (took 25 min) and did 2 more qual + final. Had the same punch in the end of the final and i even did more practice after race day and never saw the power go down. I run that with a Brushless 6.5. I ordered a 4000 mha for my B4 and i will get rid of my 10 nimh pack and only use 2 lipo pack. I only needed to do really minor modification to the car since the 6000mha is a bit thicker than normal pack.
What i like: Only need to charge once during day, cause i first charged the pack the night before race day(Keeps is charge 100%), No need charge, discharge and manipulate 10 packs, More Punch, More runtime, Lighter than normal pack so i can put lead weigth in the car where i want for getting the car balanced,
What i dont like: Sor far... nothing. I heard that i will have to buy a balancer (around 50$) do balance the pack every 25 charge to keep it in good shape. So what, i dont have 10 packs at 60$ each. An the other thing have to be carefull not to bring the pack under 6v or it will be dead.
So i guess thats it... sorry my english is not really good..so i tried my best.
Eric
