What can I say...I have my faithful followers :haha: :haha: ...all I said was it's risky and amps don't equate to run time ....so basically it's still up to you ;)

Someone buy it :haha: :haha: ...think that baby will smoke either the stock motors or the RX ...But I could always be wrong...Just like how I was wrong with Merlins melding of two different brands of electicals :haha:

PS. I have a hunch Image

Again you don't know what your talking about on any count here; the measurement of battery capacity is amp/hours or miliamp hours. This on it's own doesn't determine what current will go through the system. Just how long it will run for.

If you will excuse the analogy think of your electrical circuit like a water tank, a pipe and a valve. Your capacity is the size of the water tank, your pipe diameter into the valve is like the battery c rating of your battery, the bigger the pipe (or larger the c rating) the greater the rate of water that can be delivered to the valve.

The valve is like the esc, it regulates the rate of water through (or how much current the motors draw).

If you have huge pipes the. You can deliver large currents , however if your c rating is low the battery can't deliver the required current without damage to it's self.

Now in real life battery capacity and c rating determine the max current a battery can in theory deliver. Also Lethe esc I've described is more like a mechanical speed controller. A modern esc uses timed pulses to vary speed rather than changing resistance.

Anyway my point stands a large capacity battery won't "smoke your motors or electronics" .

Using too high a voltage or motors that draw too much current will cause damage to your electronics however.

But your right in one thing, amps don't equal run time.

Infact is a combination of current draw and battery capacity. But in the case you seem to be talking about battery capacity when you talk about "amps", which would be wrong.

You also wouldn't buy a proper smart charger for lipos and seem to have no understanding of batteries so I'll take your opinions with a pinch of salt. However I need a big 2s pack for one of my boats so consider this challenger accepted.....

Edit found it.
