Bench racing can be informative but the 2s and 3s 6,000 mAh versions of these packs performed very well during speedruns in my RC car (I have test videos to show it). For the price, the 6,000 mAh version was very good! I would love to see you include speedruns along with your bench testing for added information/data.
The 3s 6,000 mAh hit 99 mph and my top of the line SMC 6,500 mAh 150c hit 102 mph.
The 2s version hit 80 and my CNHL 8,000 120c hit 81.5 mph. When you factor in the price, these performed exceptionally well.
It's very likely that the LiPos are highly inconsistent from pack to pack and certainly possible for someone to get decent ones. The two I have show and demonstrate that they are quite awful.
I've tried speedruns and learned that it's much harder to get consistency in a controlled manner. Keeping all parameters the same all year round is already challenging enough with the load tests and resistance tests.
I've not seen a battery pull this low of current on the load test, I can't imagine how they would be in a speed run. I could do a speed run and calculate IR at load. There's no way for me to get top speeds consistently in the areas im able to run at.
@@RCexplained I could see the consistency argument being possible. That being said, both the 2s and 3s I ran ran very well.
I find with 2s speedruns, provided I used a long road and it is not windy, I can get results within a few 1/10ths of a mph with each run and in a video where I tested my 2 CNHL 2s LIPOs, I was within 0.1 mph on the 2 runs. According to my telemetry data, I pulled over 150+ continuous amps when at full throttle during my speedruns out of the 2s and 3s 6,000 mAh versions of the Turnigy Rapid 100C LIPOs and I was VERY happy with how the 2 I have performed, especially at their price point.
That's pretty good Brian. I'm sure the packs I have and it seems others do as well, would perform equally poor in my test setup as in the speed run vehicles. It's essentially the same test but pulling more current and hitting lower voltage earlier.
@@RCexplained I just got a chance to watch your full video and I agree - I thought your testing looked great (thought I still like to see actual speedruns as part of the testing. Must be a lot of variation between packs.... I have no other explanation.😉
I have no other explanation as well.
Try Smc srd batteries I run 4s 8600ma 250c ir is 0.30 epic batteries
They don't ship to Canada. I'm trying to figure out how I can get these.
@@RCexplainedI can get you in touch I just did the same thing and found the right connection… is it safe to leave an email here ? Do you want it ? I paid 495 Canadian for 2 4s and 1 6s and I still need to oay the tax for the import fees … you helped me understand some things so if I can return the favour I’d be happy to
Hi Troy, I think I have it solved. However, my email address is on the about page.
@@RCexplained if you found it all good but if it doesn’t work out let me know.
Most dont realize theres very few lipo manufacturers and these label companies simply buy low to high quality.
Wow I didn't expect them to test this bad. Mine show about 3~4 internal resistance per cell, yet they are the second best performing packs in my XRT second only to my Gens Ace Basher packs and not by that much. My Hoovo and Zeee packs from Amazon totally suck and hit LVC early because of the extreme voltage draw down they have. Someday I want to get some really good packs but the cost for quality is so high.
Wow. For me it's quite different.
@@RCexplained Yes mine don’t show the greatest internal resistance but actually perform good. Not that much voltage drop, when LVC kicks in they are done whereas my cheap Amazon batteries still have around 3.6 volts in them when they trip LVC. Traxxas LVC is at about 3.3 or 3.4. These batteries are at 3.45 usually when LVC kicks in. I look forward to when I can try a set of real expensive batteries. Being retired now I have to watch my spending.
These also tested very well for me! The 3S version hit 99 miles an hour in my car versus my SMC 6500 mAh pack that hit 102 miles an hour.
For the price, they were extremely solid. Bench racing doesn’t always equate to real world racing.
I purchased four 4s 6000 packs a few weeks ago . I make them closer to 4000mAh capacity .
Hello, thank you for such a interesting and informative article. As these are the worst you have tested ,what are the best brand with the same stats? Please keep up your really cool content. Tony uk 👍
I don't have a large database as I budget buying 1 set of lipos per month. Best budget lipo so far is cnhl 4s 5000mAh
Hi Ryan. So, is it safe to say that the "Rapid" batteries will "rapidly" reach the end of their useful life??
Hi Frank, Absolutely if you try to pull 100C power from it with no voltage cutoff.
I got 3 6000 mAh of these batteries early at release and for me they exhibit 2-4 mOhm internal resistance. Maybe my charger isn't very accurate but they show lower resistance than almost any of my other batteries, about same as CNHL 3s 100c batteries
That sounds good, not the same for these 5000 packs
You must have got lucky, I have 6 of these Rapide batteries. A mixture of 2s, 3s & 4s 5000 mah + one 3s 6000mah. Out the box they pretty much read around 10 - 12 mOhm per cell, I checked the ir on 2 different chargers & got pretty much the same readings.The 3s 6000mah I cycled 5 times on my charger for break in. I have only ran that battery a few times, but it still reads 7-8-3 mOhm per cell. The other 5 batteries were also cycled the same still read around 7 - 9 mOhm per cell. Punch seems pretty good on these Rapide batteries but I very much dought I will buy any more, as most of my other brand batteries read between 2 - 4 mOhm per cell.
@gillian9178 wow that's terrible IR
Thanks so much for doing this I was going to buy one on the weekend. Can I ask your opinion and get your opinion on what you think is the best value 4S pack to buy . I've go a 6S V1 EXB Kraton and a few 8th scale Corally cars all running on 4S so I'd really appreciate you advice.. Love your channel too I've learnt a heap .. Cheers
Cnhl has been the best performer so far.
@@RCexplained Mate thanks so much! I have ONE CNHL 6600 pack.. If I can ask one more question, CNHL seem to have a diverse range are they all ok or should I stick with a certain range? Thanks again for your replies really appreciate it.. 🙏
@@malsmith2012 I do mostly speed runs but in my experience with CNHL the G+ 70c series batts are the best performing out of their camp!👍
Hello again, sorry I meant to say I use 6s 4s 3s. All off road track and bashing thanks again. Tony uk
I have some of these cheap Rapide batteries, I was surprised at how high the ir is on these so called 100c - 200c batteries. Out the box is saw around 10 - 12 mohm per cell, I cycled the packs 5 times on my charger before using them in my cars. The ir has dropped slightly to around 7 - 9 mohm per cell, still way way higher than most other batteries i have. I checked the ir on 2 chargers I have, one is the Hota S6 charger the other is the ICharger 106B. Both chargers gave similar readings on the ir, I wont be buying any more of these Rapide packs. Having said that the punch these batteries give seems pretty good though.
They are the worst 5000 pack I've seen so far.
They say that SMC racing batteries are the best can you confirm that?
SMC racing batteries are the best I have used, I race 36 to 50 inch Fast Electric Boats. Running SAW runs up to 100 MPH !
They don't ship to canada
@@RCexplained Neither to EU, unfortunately.
@@TheGhostman132 in Netherlands you can buy some off them in the hobby shop wetronic. Maybe that will help
@@peteroosterhoff8850 Thanks! Finally! Currently they only have limited stock but need to be checking in time to time.
Does not surprise. Did not heard very good results with 6000mah either. Also the mighty 5500mah 140C has gone down quite a bit in performance.
That's unfortunate.
The 6,000 mAh version tested really well for me at 2s and 3s. I pulled over 150 amps out of them during speedruns and they were solid, especially at their price point. The 3s version hit 99 mph in my Traxxas Bandit.... I have tested about 20 3s LIPOs and the fastest, my SMC 6,500 150C only hit 3 mph faster (102 mph).
Shocking results to say the least but they perform ok in the truck 🤔
These will certainly hit the lvc far too early.
@@RCexplained not always wide open throttle I’ve seen 45 mins outta a set of 3s Versions not sure THAT part makes a difference
But I have had that long 😎😎💥
Does your Toyota have a sport mode? Shift points are usually set low for emissions/daily driving applications. You may also be having an issue with the computer not calling for WOT even if the pedal is down all the way. Those are my initial thoughts
Yes, sport mode was on and traction control off.
@@RCexplained Very strange. If you have a reader/data logger or can take it to a speed shop they can see if you're actually getting 100% throttle in the computer when the pedal is down
@DanielReyes-hz1qk I have a data logger and throttle position is maxed.
@@RCexplained Let me know what you end up finding out from Toyota, I'm curious
@DanielReyes-hz1qk toyota says it's normal and I have confirmed multiple v6 xse models do the same.
It's 5 amp hour. Why repeat the marketing wank of calling it 5000mAh? Ignorance.
5Ah or 5000mAh makes no difference.
Thank you for buying testing and reviewing these bud💯💥😎😎 at worse they had to be a cost u pocketed 🫡🫡 and also are you telling us that these are 13c and not 100c did I hear correct or was it 13% of 100c that were getting out of these lipos😔
Appreciate it. Every dollar this channel makes goes back in to it and then some! You did hear correctly for these packs. 13% of the rated 100C
@@RCexplained13c no wonder the torox 185 esc is cutting out on full throttles 13c was not strong enough yet the max6 and spektrum firma 150 seem to not mind
@gonzodetroitify it will depend on where the voltage cutoff is
@@RCexplained cut off is about 3.4 I think
@@RCexplained about 3.4 and that’s 8% life left
