So along with my spending spree of upgrades (did I also mention I got an RC8B3E w/ tekin RX8/T8 2050kv gen 2 combo ?) I bought a 6S pack. I was running two Gen's Ace 3s 5500mah 45C packs, but one is starting to puff a little, and they're never dead on after a run. Plus they started to bend after some bashing, and was disappointed I paid so much from AMain.
Being that I had good luck putting my faith into cheap servos like the JX ones on Amazon I'd thought I'd put my faith into a battery as well. Still plan on one day buying a Max Amps, and ProTeks for the buggy, but until then I needed something "reasonable".
I ordered this one YOWOO 6S Graphene Battery 6000mAh... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MR1YR64?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Off Amazon, and it took about 3 days to get to me. While in transit I ordered the 4S 4000mah version. When they showed up I was like uh-oh this thing is a brick! ?
Here it is next to one of those Gen's Ace packs.
And two 3S packs
Now I was like crap is this gonna fit!? And I'll be dammed, like a glove, it was like they made it just for our battery tray.
With not a mm to spare?
Now, I only have a few runs so far, I never discharge balanced them, and they came out of the box right at 3.85. As of this morning, after running them yesterday I put them on the Venom to see if the cells are still balanced. I think the numbers speak for themselves.
I will update with the long term review, but so far they're a HUGE difference with the 100C rating. Like this is not a superficial gain in performance, it was massively noticeable. They're actually wrapped nicer than any other battery I have, corners are nice and square, wiring is clean. If you look closely in the Amazon description it calls itself the "Panther" model, so I'm wondering if these are Turnigy 6.0 rewrapped idk. But so far pretty pleased, we'll see if my tray can hold up to them, and if they last longer than the pos Gens batteries that are basically trash after only two months?.
