<DIV>Sure Chris, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have spoken about Radical RC before on this forum. That's where I purchased mine. Very inexpensive packs BTW. Regarding low resistance, they probably do have lower resistance than the earlier 4 cell NiMH purchased from them several years earlier</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>About 5 years ago, on Earl Haury's suggestion, I bought the 4 cell 1650's and liked the response. BUT, flight times improved only marginally from the original NiCd 1400 JR pack. Maybe one more flight. Over the past 4+ seasons, since 2002, it was the only pack I had in service (2 airplanes). It started to show signs of wear though as response time started lagging more and more. I decided to change to the 5 cell earlier this year with much improvement</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The longer flight time was unexpected I must admit. I figured whatever time gain I made in voltage-speed equation I would lose in current-torque. Not so! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know for a fact that these are better, lower R cells, they are after all Sanyo's. My airborne set-up is unchanged from earlier in Temptress; same servos and linkages. Servos have routinely been serviced so I can't say where one set of pots worked better than another. It could be that the cells are more closely matched. That's what DinoP thinks anyway.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope that helps. BTW, lower R cells are definitely the way to go with NiMH. Lag time can be noticeable with standard cells and is very annoying. Been wanting to go to LiPo airbornes for that reason. Eddie Alt built me a very nice settable switch/regulator and I have the set-up ready to go. I set mine at 6.5 volts, just perfect for JR airborne rigs</DIV>
