Default New Cell capacity shock.

Just thought i'd share this, as I was pretty amazed.

After much dilemer about which cells to get, I plumped for some IB's from Storm Force Racing (a supporter of the forum ).

Anyhow, I ran them at the Bury regional, last weekend and I thought i'd discharge them today. I didn't fully charge my set for the final, I took them to 4000 and stopped as frankly the thought of them going 'Bang' scares me...

Today they were finally taken out of the car and discharged at 20amps and to my utter suprise they had 1970 left in them !
Amazing, considering they had being run in my X6 (2wd) and then stood for a week.

I guess most people already know there's loads left in them, but it was quite a suprise for me just how much.

I regularly only use about 2000mA in a run, but then again I am supposedly 'Mr Smooooooth'

Cheese helps.

Rich Lowe and I ran packs of cells through our cars after the regional on Sunday, it's just brilliant how long you can get with 4200 cells and brushless. 15 mins nearly of full race pace. Motor warm but much cooler than a brushed motor would be after only 5 minutes.

By the time I had gone back to change cells it was cool enough to go again
