Good deal on Mini T batteries at Stormer Hobbies

I thought that would be the case after about 15 mins into it but thought, "what the heck" and kept going just to watch to see if it did slow any. It didn't.

I will redo the whole test.

I really need an indoor dragstrip with electronic timing so we could just do run after run at full throttle and map the results.

An indoor drag strip would be good or even a track with a timing system would work as well. Actually a super fancy charger/discharger would be good also to but getting to a track would be cheaper than one of those lol!

What totally sold me on buying good brand packs was back when LH in crest hill was open I (amonth or so after the mini-t first came out) I ran my almost stock Mini-t with just bearings and a great planes 280 airplane motor with a Losi 6 cell pack and a KAN 1050 6 cell pack on the track during a practice night when things quieted down on the track.

from what I remember runtimes were about the same for both packs but the Losi pack really fell off half way through. I had not noticed it running at home because it was gradgual loss but at the track I could really notice it. Early on I could clear a couple doubles but after a few laps I could not come anywhre near clearing the same jumps. I droped the K1050 pack in and I immediately remember noticing a difference in aceleration and the pack kept strong all the way through the runtime only falling off pretty quickly at the end.

It would be great to test that again with a timing system on the track. mabey I'll toss in the Cobalt 14t into the RC18 when Leisure hours opens and test out a couple packs.
