Hello, i have this 8000 mach lipos and i did a mod to kepp it in place, in this case u dont need to remove the bracket and can use "normal" battery : photos.app.goo.gl/Lp7LdVn5MH4tzR848
Hi, I have the same 6500 4s. Charge from 3.8v to 4.2v/cell the capacity is about 2000mah, what is minimal voltage when You should charge this battery? Best regards 👍
I've tried out those batteries on my X-Maxx. They worked great for a while, but the solder that keeps the wires connected to the internal pack kept breaking. Once that happens, bye bye battery. I've had that happen twice. I since went with straps instead of the awful plastic tray hold downs from Traxxas. Maybe that would have prevented that? But now I don't trust those batteries though 🤔. Great video as usual.
I'd actually have a look at the zeee 9000mah batteries! I have a video on my channel. I think k they are slightly more (not much) and they last a long time 😀
I have just purchased an RC with 3s lipo batteries and it talks about low voltage detection and I’m a bit confused does that mean you shouldn’t run the batteries completely dead or do they give u a warning please advise
Hey Colin! Low voltage detection is on the rc car (the esc) when the lipo is running low, it will detect the low voltage and stop. From experience, most rc cars will cut off around 10% battery life. If you're new to the hobby, I suggest doing some lipo research. I hope this has helped :)
Matthew Simm hi yes that’s making more sense so when you say when the battery is about 10% life it with stop, do you mean the truck will stop as thou the battery is dead to preserve the battery. And yes I’m new to lipo batteries, I did have a rc years ago but it used ordinary batteries none of this fancy stuff. Thank you for the info
Yes is will stop or it will limit the rc car to a crawl speed, that means its flat and to stop driving it. Also, once you're finished for the day, you should always put the batteries into a storage charge as over time they can lose power and if the battery is flat it could kill it. Also a good tip, never leave your batteries inside your house or your car, its very unlikely to happen however if for some reason you damaged the battery during your driving it could ignite and cause a fire, so I suggest putting them in a steeo tool box a couple of meters away from valuable items (house, car etc...)
Thanks very much for replying as quickly, so that beggars another question once the battery needs charged after use ideally we should charge yes? This is very helpful to be able to ask, so could you explain about discharging what it is n when should you do it please?
@@colinmacdonald6600 after using your batteries, plug them into your charger and choose the "lipo storage charge" option, this will charge or discharge your battery to safely store your batteries for the next time you want to use them. If you would like, I might do a video touching on the basics of lipo batteries? How to charge and store them etc..
@@andreimschnee Yes, for a cheap battery they are great, i haven't had any problems yet, no puffing, doesn't get hot, no dead sells, great balancing etc.. and for the price, thats a win in my books.
Just curious, but ive seen many "smaller' channels and i am wondering how you got so many subscribers, from about the same amount of time, that i have had a channel. Is it bc my channel is not posting as good quality vids? I literally only have my phone, and i broke my tripod. i have almost no money, so i cant use it on my channel. i use imovie to edit lol. be careful with those batteries. i have some of those, but different branding. (hrb. they look the exact same, and are similar prices. they also came in the same packaging.) mine started leaking some green fluid after about a month. so they are currently at the end of my drive way, in snow, in my lipo safe bag. so that means i cant charge anymore batteries, until this gets sorted out. so no more fun. also, my hard case battery broke. the case cracked, and i was curious if i could still use it? thanks. i might be uploading a top 10 rc car list. its gonna be same platform as yours. but it wont be as good. haha. ill leave a link in my description box of your video incase anyone wants to watch the one i tried to "copy". haha.
I wouldn't use the battery just be sure to depose of it properly. I'm not to sure why I have grown so fast, I only use my phone and a gopro and I edit with Adobe. I do try and upload twice a week (be cobsistant) have good thumbnails etc..
What are your experiences with the YouMe Power batteries? So far, I think they're great batteries, however, the run time seems over to a 5000mah not a 6500mah :)
I have the 4s 6500 mah youmes for my xmaxx, and today I got an hour and a half of constant bashing and ramping. But they weren't even dead yet! These things are insane and I love them!
Thats really good to hear! I have been using them alot and if im not contently full throttle I have been getting up to an hour however if im full throttle most of the time (big sand dunes and long roads etc..) then I only get 20mins to half an hour) in all, these are grest batteries, I also recommend checking out some of the zeee power batteries, another great cheap alternative :) Thanks for your comment
@@MatthewSimm yeah dude for sure no problem! I did notice that. My 5-year-old little brother has a brushed stampede 2wd so I can't show off too much to him lol. I love the xmaxx though it takes a beating! Also, keep up these videos I like em!
I got 2 of those same 4s 6500mah batteries off ebay for 120$ au. I have been out of the rc game for a long enough time so my last was a bees dick 3s brushless. So 2200mah 3s and that was considered high end in the mid 2000s. But in my 4s maxx, getting on it pretty hard, yeah 30 minutes run time sounds about right. Not on it, yeah, run time is longer. So its a bit better then the 90s where 7 minutes out of a 3000mah 7.2v nimh through a 15 tripple mod brushed motor was considered good run time.
Hey Greg! I fully understand! I started off racing with NiMh too in the early 2000s. I was only a kid but I still remember what they were like, I even had one blow up in my dads hands! Lipos catch fire, but those batteries actually went bang haha. Good to see you're back in the hobby, if you want some better fitting batteries for the maxx (My new go to bashing batts) the 7000mah zeee lipo 4s 100c batteries fit perfectly! Like they were made for it.
@@MatthewSimm the youme 6500mah 4s are a very snug fit in the maxx. They only just fit and thats with all the stuff for other fitment removed. So thats actually a positive. I got my kid a traxxas stampede (bigfoot version) a while back sort of as a starter for him to beat around. He loves it. So obviously its had a few bits thrown at it. He is 11, but with an aftermarket brushless setup, its not the quickest thing out there, but plenty for a kid. He does all the work on it himself, but thats because its the best way to learn. I do talk him through stuff, but i want him to do the work as opposed to him getting me to do it for him.
@@MatthewSimm if only the explanation was that simple. Hopefully they just need some time to "break in". I also didn't balance charge them right after buying them, so I wonder if that's a factor
@@Theghostcloset they should only be balance charged every time You charge them. The cheaper the battery the more you need to take care of them by always balance charging. I got a set of these and have ran them through my x maxx 3 times and they lasted. 22min/27min/25min. Bashing pretty hard with ladle tires even. Maybe you got a bad set?
I will be testing out those Zop power 8000mah lipos soon! Stay tuned for a review on those! :)
Hello, i have this 8000 mach lipos and i did a mod to kepp it in place, in this case u dont need to remove the bracket and can use "normal" battery :
photos.app.goo.gl/Lp7LdVn5MH4tzR848
about the battery charging,yes it is normal,i have the traxxas id 6700 mah,and it charge like 3500 to 4500 mah max...every time
Dude that was an epic video just saw that you commented on our recent vid however it wouldn’t let me reply but I just subscribed Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Hey thanks :) not a problem!

Great bashing spot Matt 😎 xmaxx should be at home there

Hi ..Is this battery still good ,as i see its been a year now,also hope it has the punch to justify an xmaxx..:)
I kNow it’s an old vid but what do you think of these lipos ….. want them for my outcast exb 8s and there quite cheap just for bashing
I'd actually have a look at the zeee 9000mah batteries! I have a video on my channel. I think k they are slightly more (not much) and they last a long time 😀
DO YOU KNOW THE CHARGE RATE FOR THESE BATTERIES ??

How long did that battery last mate
Hey mate, on average, they have been running for about 20-30 minutes going hard and about 30-45 minutes casual driving
What do you use to make your thumbnails
I use photoshop :)
I just take around 10 photos, chose the best one, use photoshop to adjust colours & contrast etc.. and add some text :)
That paper that u showed on the beginning says it takes a few charges to get to the 6500mah
where? what time
@@MatthewSimm this is also stated by youmee 😎
I bought a traxxas 4s 5000mah 25c for my max and it has more punch then the youme 4s 6500mah 60c that I got for my xmaxx
Hi! Do they fit in the battery tray without any modifications? Thanks
Hey Mate! They sure do! I still use them in my xmaxx to this date 😀
@@MatthewSimm so you are satisfied with youme? I ordered two of the 4s 6500mah yesterday
@@andreimschnee Yes, for a cheap battery they are great, i haven't had any problems yet, no puffing, doesn't get hot, no dead sells, great balancing etc.. and for the price, thats a win in my books.
@@MatthewSimm Thanks Bro! Keep on doing what you do!
@@andreimschnee thanks :)
Hi dude I've just ordered a xmaxx 😀 do you still recommend these?
I prefer the zeee 9000mah 100c batteries, they are better but these are still holding up fine 😀
@@MatthewSimm awesome man I've ordered 2 for £89 can't complain at the price. I'll look at the zeee next time. Do the 9000mah fit without issues?
Just received same lipos 👍
Nice dude, I'm still using mine 😀 although I destroyed 2 haha totally my fault though
Excellent wish I can take my custom 6x6 there to get crazy drives 👍👍👍👍😀 super goood

and is adobe free?
is it for iphone as well?
It's for the computer it's called Adobe premiere pro and I use Adobe photoshop for my thumbnails
@@MatthewSimm ok thanks!
What’s more fun in your opinion xmaxx or the kraton?
Tough choice but I'd have to go with the xmaxx as it does break as much (personal experience)
