He is running the Spectrum <br>> radio so there has not been much of an issue with interference. He is <br>> running a 2 cell 2300 mil pack on the 50cc gas stuff. Like Matt said, <br>> sounds like great stuff and no fire issues with these batts. They are <br>> slightly heavier then LiPo's but still lighter then NiMh. Bob also claims a <br>> very flat discharge rate at about 6.5 v therefore he is not even using a <br>> regulator.<br>> They can be quick charged in about 30 min or less with no issues of igniting <br>> like LiPo's or Li-Ion. I am considering switching over to these when my <br>> NiMh give out. You can buy the cells at Homie Depot in 2cell packs or <br>> disassemble the larger packs used in drills and make useable packs out of <br>> them. Visit the different links Bob has posted for more info.
