I saw no difference between those $45 cnhl batts and the $100 max amps except for warranty support. And that it’s puffed but I bet the max amps would of too if I ran them as hard but now they are unused.
What good Homie. Yeah, usually whatever I see you use and it works I'm on it. That China Battery a big bag for your buck. I have to save up for the big ass battery joined with that Mamba 8 will be crazy insane.
my friend blew up his lipo and icharger and the charger cable on fire because he keep using a puffed up lipo thats like over 3+ years old for bashing in his backyard track..never use puffed up lipo .. you only get a good 300 to 400+ cycles on this or more depends how you use them and store it
I'm running the trinity revtech drag master 4000 only cause it fits my dr10 there good battery's but they get hit pretty hard i never make more then one pass on them
I only make one these days. I’ve wrecked my car a few too many times by not bringing it back and cleaning up the tires and looking it all Over. Good lessons learned.
@@Dorkyand40 yeaup tell me about it for some reason i get a better punch out of the 4000 and it weighs less than my max amp brick on the hunt for the eliminator now to run my rotorron 2.5 on the mmx8s cant wait!
I bought two of those batteries and have never ran them. Trying to sell them now for $150. Brand new. Just bought two max amps bricks instead. Bought them about a month ago and just finished building my car and decided not to use them. Ec5 connection currently but could be swapped out to anything
If you want to spend a little less and still be safe, visit batteryhookup and grab a surplus ammo can. Nothing’s gonna chew through that. When you have these high current power cells and one cell in a 2s4p configuration goes bad, that’s when your likelihood of having a fire goes way up, especially if it’s sitting on the charger, as the 3 good cells hooked in parallel will be draining themselves trying to charge the bad one. If they’re full enough, that can reach the point of a chemical chain reaction 🔥💨
Can anybody help me with a battery question??I'm looking for a lipo battery I use to have back in 2010/2011....all I can remember is the whole thing was red.it didn't have a hard case, more like thick shrink warp.i want to say the company was called nu energy? or nu speed?they had a website,sold batteries,chargers and plane and drone electric motors..If I remember correctly I want to say the company was in Cali....the battery I had was a 6s lipo,can't remember all the other details. Does this sound familiar to anybody?or would be able to if the company is out of business.
Chad thanks for the awesome videos and taking the time to teach the us the new guys in the hobby. I'm using a slash lcg chassis for my first drag car, I got the mamba x 8s esc and the trinity 2.5 motor. With that chassis I believe I can't use the maxamps battery because the shape. I don't want to cut the chassis to fit that size battery. What battery in your opinion is the best choice for that chassis? I was thinking on getting the cnhl 7.4v 8000mah 120c. And also what connector you recommend to put in the esc and battery? Thanks again
check out my video on the chinahobbylines..they are good for a bit. theyll puff but you should get some runs out of them and they are a really decent price. i ran them in the dr10. dont cut the chassis..i did and it broke. look to move all of it to a carboin conversion when youre ready
Beo me and and my son son are new to the rc drag scene we live in Columbus ohio would love to be involved and get advice from you and your crew. Please let me know if I can join 🙏
Lol. Yeah. Everyone is jumping gin that band wagon. I’m fairly certain if you’re charging between hits that there is a point where the weight vs milliamp equation topples. My 4350 seems to run just as good as my 6400 but the 6400 makes me feel better :)
@@Dorkyand40 I guess they are only designed to keep fire out and not in!?!? All I know is I don't like to keep all my eggs in one basket!!! Or batteries either.!.! lol
Hey Chad I just received my five star hobbies weight box for the front end of my car. Did u leave all the weights in or how did u determine how many to take out ?
I use isdt chargers. Make up leads to just leave battery in car and then hookup and charge. I run the charger with a larger 4s battery. Easy and simple.
Ok Koo I’m gonna look in to one I just have the dynamite mini I have to get one that discharges and balance the battery’s just wants sure which one thank you sir appreciate your help
@@Dorkyand40 Hey Chad. I’m looking to run a 4S battery to charge my 2S battery up in between runs on the icharger. What specs and kind of 4S should I be looking at? Thanks man
I have 2 3s 5000 to run the tire warmers so I don’t need to worry about charging those and then a 4s 5000 for the car and in case I need to top off a warmer. Amazon doing weird stuff where they are selling in pairs now.
Hey Chad I just ordered the castle mms 8s and some max amps batteries. What connectors are u using ? I need to call max amps and change my order like now !
Did you watch my last video with the sanwa where I was using the castle? What are you interested in seeing I haven’t covered yet? It’s the fastest my car has ever went. 2.1 at 71 mph. It’s a win. It’s a winning combination so let me know what you’d like to see covered.
I did watch the last video. I’m thinking of making the switch from the R1 digital 3 to the castle, but I’m not running a sanwa. I’m just curious if I’ll be able to control the power with the spektrum dx5c.
Boy idk. I’m going to say no just based off of how much radio tuning I’m using. I’ve known many people this year that have made the move to sanwa and all got faster using what they had. A more powerful motor snd esc ain’t going to do much if you’re still fighting it. You need that tune ability.
Its funny how we add this heavy batteries to our cars for "better performance " and you have a guy with a shorty pack breaking records and kicking ass, makes me wonder do we need these brick batteries.
@@jameyharrison7499 well im sure theres alot sub 2 second cars out there thaought dont run bricks, i know of 2 cars in 1.9,1.8 range that run regular shorty packs, and i believe 1 of them hold low e.t. and mph record in Lexington,ky.

Hands down the best drag lipo for under $100 are the SMC SRD packs. Tons of sub 2 seconds cars using them.
Solid vid 👍🏾 Choice of fat pack 2s lipo batteries has been on my mind lately.
Thanks

BIG FACTS!!Bout to storage charge mine now!

Always. Thanks for stopping by

Can’t wait to see what you do with the brisket chassis, just got mine in today, gonna do some testing this week
It’s nice. A great upgrade for sure. Good luck
I keep my batteries in a lipo bag, inside of a metal 40mm ammo can. Even if one lights off, it’ll lose oxygen fast.
I used to do that. Then I watched some videos and saw they don’t do a lot. Bat safe for me!
@@Dorkyand40what do yoU recommend to charge Lipo battery in ?

Can’t wait to see the brisket chassis in use been thinking about getting that chassis but can’t find any videos on it
This weekend I hope. Lots of rain here in Ohio this week
It’s a GREAT chassis for the money. Super nice and high quality components. Love mine.
Are you coming to the big CKNP race Oct 2 in Kentucky its going to be huge all the fastest guys in No Prep will be there
Possibly. Depends on work and Covid. Hospital is paying a lot for extra shifts right now.
@@Dorkyand40 Oh I bet I am the one putting the race on me and a buddy we run the CKNP would love to have you there Billy Shaw will be covering it
3 weeks on the trinity pack ir is .5 per cell with no discharge or cycle.

The chln batteries have 4 cells in there case
The bay safe what’s the cost it looks like $14.98 $24.98 or $74.98
Thanx for this video i have bin wondering about all this lipo And the deference
Good content bud . Have you een the new R1 2s 4p battery yet? It's like 8100mah i think but its 200$ .
Lol. Yeah. Everyone is jumping gin that band wagon. I’m fairly certain if you’re charging between hits that there is a point where the weight vs milliamp equation topples. My 4350 seems to run just as good as my 6400 but the 6400 makes me feel better :)
@@Dorkyand40 Ya know, I was wondering about that variable as well . Makes sense though. my cars already kinda porky to keep the nose down haha
Wouldn't a ammo box work the same as a "batsafe"???
no..watch some videos. the box compresses and explodes and doesnt contain the flames
@@Dorkyand40 I guess they are only designed to keep fire out and not in!?!? All I know is I don't like to keep all my eggs in one basket!!! Or batteries either.!.! lol
Have you seen the maxamps 2s 8p is that better or not bc of weight
It’s a great battery. I see the fast guys running the Big Max amps or the r1. Hard to beat either.
Hey Chad I just received my five star hobbies weight box for the front end of my car. Did u leave all the weights in or how did u determine how many to take out ?
Using corner scales and getting my front to back weight about 40/60 and then driving it and taking video and see if the front end is coming up.
@@Dorkyand40 thanks bro
What do you think about the drk 2s battery and what’s a really good quick charger to use at events that charges quickly

It came set from rotor ron. Looks like 32.

Short or long, or do they come in one configuration ?
there are a lot of different batts out now but generally youre multi cell 2s packs will be short and think vs a 2regular 2 cell pack
Going in the Trash? You mean going to a recycling center!
I mentioned that again in the video. Comply with local ordinances:)
@@Dorkyand40 Yes you did, I watched the entire video. Better to say take them to a recycler as a consistent message - just saying.
