<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi Nat, <div><br><div> No, I get more power from the True RC at a given throttle setting as there is less voltage drop, more current and therefore more rpm . I saw this in the data that Chris originally presented. And they definitely run cooler. I was worried about the 10C rating and tried to find out if there was a standard in the battery industry for rating the continuos and peak currents. I found none. My thinking goes like this. If the voltage drops less and they stay cooler, they should be rated higher. So as long as they keep exhibiting these qualities I will be happy no matter what the advertised rating is.</div><div><br></div><div>I haven't tried a different throttle curve because I figured I'd adapt based on the perceived speed. I'm finding I'm flying faster and using more energy. I'm still in the 3500 mAh range but I think I'll stick with at least 5000 mAh packs instead of trying to save weight.</div><div><br></div><div>Jim O</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><html>On Mar 28, 2008, at 7:51 PM, Nat Penton wrote:</html><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div bgcolor="#ffffff" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><font face="Arial" size="2">Jim</font></div><div><font face="Arial" size="2">If I interpet you correctly you are getting less power from the TrueRC than the ProLites ?
