Review - Outrage XP packs 2500 6S & 2200 3S

Finless · 06-16-2008, 08:37 PM

OK guys I have been kinda silent on this for a bit but some of you may have seen posts about me trying these packs.

This review is hearing from people that have been using them for a while now. I don't need to be in the review and I let users local to me say how well they are working for them. This review video is a 2 month spread in time... You can see the first segment when I started the review and later 2 month what users think.

Since this is a review and NOT a full blown data based analysis you take this based on users local to me and what they think.

Here is my .00002 cents. I love them!

I would LOVE to have the time to do full blown 100's of flight testing and data graphs for a review! Really I would. But after trying it with the TP/FP/Kong testing I realized that
1) I don't have the time OR the diligence to keep track of my flying!
2) I don't have the patience to do this kind of review!

Reviews of batteries are NOT my thing. So.... I will do them using REAL people and REAL experience. You be the judge in the end.

Anyway, here is the video:

Enjoy,

Hey Bob are those the pack's you let me fly in Bakersfeild fun fly in my Trex 500 if so all I can say is those were the Hottest pack's I have ever flown. I see that they are out of stock of them and I can see why? I will get some when they are back in stock.

HeliDirect just got a shipment in early this morning. I got the email notification and managed to score 2 of the 5000mah 6S1P packs for the 600e before they vanished again.

Am I crazy or is Kevin's mikado really loud ?? The T500 canopy have anything to do with that ?

How much better do the 30S packs perform than the 25S packs if you're not using a high power motor like a Scorpion? I would assume there would be at least a slight increase in power with the 30S because they wouldn't get as hot, but is it $10 worth?

HFG · 06-18-2008, 12:02 PM

Sorry but i have to pipe up on this issue. This C game seems to becoming a numbers game like the clocking frequency of a CPU. Lets take an example here

2100mah 20C pack = 42A

2100mah 25C = 52.5A

2100mah 30C = 63A

Most 450 Motors have an maximum current of 50A and most commonly used ESC are 35-40A. Frankly i would prefer to see improvements in other areas of lipo such as:
Cycle Life
Longevity
Price
Weight

P.S. My fav pack to date was 18C, bestest even my 30C packs.

Bob get your Logo canopy off the ground before someone steps on it.

So, let me ask this in this thread/forum:

If I have a 35A ESC, is there any advantage of the 30C over the 25C packs?

The 25C's are cheaper, lighter, and available (at least they were). I'm not asking "good enough," which I'm sure they are, I'm just curious if there is any aspect of benefit for the 30's.

Thanks,
Jim
