Just wondering..............

Getting ready to purchase a couple of Li po packs. My question: WHAT "C" rating will I need using a brushless system? I've seen MANY 15c, 20c, 25c, etc. I remember when using a Lipo in a starter box, you wanted the HIGHEST "C" rating possible! Just wondering the same or not in 1/10th scale Offroad!

I've seen the SMC 4000mah, 20C packs.

Thanks in advance!
Greg J.

Pretty much, don't go no lower than 20C. What motor and esc is it for? What size battery were you after?

Probably a 3200 mah or more, with the Novak 5.5 system.

I know the 3 cell lipo, 2800 mah in my 3PKS will last for almost 2 weeks of weekend racing. ALL this lipo stuff is NEW to me.

Thanks RC!

I hate to sell it but need the $$$$$ to give Monty for some work he's doing for me. More than likely a waste of money but I gotta find out for myself. And it has something to do with the color purple. And no Zipper it ain't Ron's hippo:eek:

A 3200 20c lipo will put out 64 amps which isn't much, most companies recommend 100a minimum and in 1/8 scale 125a - 150a minimum so the esc/motor get enough amps and not go up in flames. If the battery doesn't have the C rating it is easy to work out just MAH x 0.0C so 3300 x .020 = 64
