And C is not for coulombs.It is for "capacity".So for a 5000 mah pack,1C is 5 amps per hour.So if a number is 'n',it means 'n' times the battery's capacity.So 40C on a 5000 mah pack is 200 amps for 90 seconds.

true

If max is 5C @ 3000mah, max current = 15A.
What happens in a Nixx is discharged at a higher rate. Lipo puffs up so what happens with nixx?

Heats up, resistance increases but no case of explosion till the discharge is extremely low thats why we dont need LVC with them.

But,NiMHs have been known to explode under EXTREME circumstances.I believe they can go down to 0.00V/cell and it won't hurt them nor will they have a memory like NiCd batteries.

Memory effect is negligible in Nimh.
I dont know about this voltage thing that u said, and never heard of it, may be my knowledge falls short lol
And yeah, un over charge/discharge these NiXX explode of like a shot gun shell !!!!!

Says here nixx do not have specific C rating. The discharge depends on the cell itself and on the manufacturer :

OH ! Yes, i stand by correct. C is the Capacity of battery.

'discharge capacity'

Not gonna be running the NiMH for long!
Wish I could've gone to the track today!

Woulda got my LiPo!

Lets now start racing these beasts. Mine is out for sometime. but will be back soon.
Will keep you guys posted.

Cheers

Sure man.Next week onwards,we'll start.On the last sunday of this week,I'll be lipo-ed

Hey! Belated Congrats!! Gandhar has some company now! Put up some action pics when you can. Nice color scheme

Thanks! I'll try and get someone to drive, while I take pics..
I'll most probably be at the track this Sunday.. Wanna come?

I'll surely try. Which track though? I've never been there before..

Hey,don't let anyone drive!!!You drive and make them the cameraman.

Lol that's a good idea. But on training mode I don't think it'll hurt to have others give a go.

hmm........probably.Still,no non-RC-er gets my car.EVEN if the NiMH is below 8.4V(The time when it begins to feel REALLY slow)

Haha.. I was talkin about people at the track. Not the ones who gawk at it on the streets..

yeah.Thats alright.If I come to the track,you guys are welcome to try it.(If the batts have enough juice in them )

Hey what's the speed on one of these on stock batteries? Not on Training mode but 100%. I'm planning on picking up an electric in the near future. But I don't want the hassle of LiPo.

hmm...........35 mph on stock gearing. 40mph on a higher ratio with the included 'speed pinion'.

That's more than enough! I'm more inclined towards acceleration than top speed really.. So no speed pinions.

I guess I want an electric for those lazy afternoons when you just want to turn it on and run till the batteries die.. For more elaborate days, nitro

for acceleration,nothing beats a lipo

Well I'm by nature extremely lazy and careless. And LiPo's I've heard usually need childlike care at times. Plus I'm looking only at the 2WD model currently. I need a hobby grade basic funtime runner. You know like your regular toy rc cars, but of a much higher quality.

I love the toy rc. Mainly because i can run it on my study table Have a small ferrari F40 which can drift and do doughnuts
