Boy thats great,I dont know where my issues lie,im between a rock and a hard place again,for a couple of weeks my SK spec car ran like a rocket,now the thing is off 2or 3 tenths a lap now??????.Got to spend some time saturday trying to figure out whats wrong!!!!!!.

Sandy what u using for motors?
an Bone as for the T30 is it a 5 or a 9 button this weekend my friend is using a t30 for the first time ... so ill check up on it ... these yellow packs seem to have good low IR i charged the pack again an discharged it an the IR dropped to 28 ... an the Disch time was 15 sec lower an the ds v was 4.45 then @1v it was 4.49 seems with more cycles it gets better ...

trinity made a 1300 spec pack ?? purple an white cells ??

never seen these ...
wonder how they charge up ...

I'm using a 9 button unit, used my second (new to me) one last night

IR's were 247, 244, 236 but I'm measuring voltage from the CHARGER side of the deans plugs. I did cycle my GP3300's with deans connectors (practice packs) but with the voltage leads on the battery, came up with 71 and 69 IR.

http://www.beefyproducts.com/SK-Modified-Spec-Car-Kit--Fiberglass_p_159-1897.html is the beefy spec car right ?

.. kskt skatboard not allowed in spec?

yes the solid chassis from RKR or KSK are both legal in our spec class. the only t-plate car that's legal is the Beefy Excaliber kit.

C ya Cider

Blew up my C battery from the page b4 .. i had it charging an they where gonna start a heat race went to get my friends out side .. an came back an i was like somthing smells hot an looked an it was blown up ... :( it must been a killer pack cuz things like that only happen to good stuff

Overchargeing!!!!!!!!!

Do you know when ya race those packs,dont Flex charge them,charge normal charge.!!!!!

Flexcharged my best pack tonight on 9 T30TF and finished second. Maybe I'll try normal charging next week?

o did i mention that some how my 2 leads from the charger some how where touching :( they must moved a hair the sec i got up from the table ... im so bummed .,..

Does anyone charge with an Ice? I am charging the new Spec 4 cell 1600 Trinity packs. Currently, I charge at 5 amps. After a race, I discharge at 10 amps and then bring them down with a 6 light bulb set-up until they are dead. I need to know what to set the peak sensitivity, disch. voltage, and trickle current.

Talk with the Mullins crew, but I believe they used them before.

I have a fellow racer that charges with an ICE charger and does very well,i dont know his procedure thow.

o did i mention that some how my 2 leads from the charger some how where touching :( they must moved a hair the sec i got up from the table ... im so bummed .,.. How bout your Turbo 35,that melted down too???????

nah t he 35 is running mint still im so lucky lol but the end of the pack is melted an the connector split so it might be able to be salvaged for a practice pack :) have to rip it apart an fix it an see ... lol

I need to know what to set the peak sensitivity, disch. voltage, and trickle current.currently charging with a TC 1030, same as an ice using the 4 step charge at 2.5 amps to 500 mah with flex for the first step, 7 amps to 1300 mah linear for step two, 6 amps to 1600 mah and 5.5 amps to 1900 mah's, been discharging at 10 and seem to be losing ir and gaining power. :dude:

those the 07 cells ? o an i found some cells that say 06 ;) cant miss the 06 on em they are rather large

all have seven packs now, all have ('06) where I mentioned earlier.

What a night...........

04-09-2008 1am start.

Sorry if the numbers get askewed, I typed it out in wordpad first, then pasted it here.

A/B/C are new to me packs I won in an Ebay auction, still have the Tamiya connectors on them

Packs 1/2/3 are packs I purchased at local hobby shop I race at. Pack #1 is not included. It was always weak and is now sleeping in the Legends car. We run a 6.0 second breakout class, good batts not needed. Pack #4 was purchased off ebay from DenisesRCOutlet. It was listed using a pic of a "yellow" cell pack, but was standard '06 red cells. It is my best pack right now. Pack #3 has died. One cell is DOA. At 6 amps charging the pack voltage shot up to OVER 10v before I shut the charger off. This is the same pack I used last week in the 1st Qualifier.

CE TurboFlex 30
Long lockout - Yes
Tflex -No
Charge at 6.0 amps, -.03v peak, then wait 50 seconds, change over to discharge @ 20 amps to 3.0v

I then take voltage readings at 60/120/180/240, also time at 3.6v and 3.0v when discharge is stopped.

Pack C I simply forgot to check voltages as I was surfing :)

Pack.............A..........B..........C.......... 4..........2......
060.............4.39......4.29.......XXX......4.40 ......4.23
120.............4.24......4.08.......XXX......4.27 ......3.99
180.............4.05......3.92.......XXX......4.19 ......3.76
240.............XXX.......XXX........XXX......4.04 .......XXX
3.6v.............236.......238.......232.......293 .......196
3.0v.............293.......274.......257.......305 .......223
Avg V..........4.07......4.03......4.17......4.22..... .4.04
Mah............1627.....1522.....1427.....1694.... ..1238

If Pack A comes around, I'll be OK. But six weeks left in a points series and I don't wanna be worried about packs dying off. Pack #3 has a dead cell, 6 amp charging and voltage was over 12v within 60 seconds.

Does anyone charge with an Ice? I am charging the new Spec 4 cell 1600 Trinity packs. Currently, I charge at 5 amps. After a race, I discharge at 10 amps and then bring them down with a 6 light bulb set-up until they are dead. I need to know what to set the peak sensitivity, disch. voltage, and trickle current.

I use an ICE. I charge and repeak at 7 amps , p.s. set at .05. I boost them on a INDI torpedo about ten minutes before I race. Discharge at twenty with lights with a little cut-off box. My 1600 spec packs are 5 years old and they still kick.Most of my packs charge up to 1800-1900+.And I have 4 that charge up to 2000+.

I just ordered three more packs off ebay from a seller I'd dealt with before. My #4 pack came from them, best pack I have right now.

Look at the volatge @ 180 seconds and you'll see what I mean!!!!!!

$44 shipped for three packs, of $70 for a Indy Torpedo.........which I'll likely end up buying anyways!

bone whats the ir of that pack is it high ?

on a Turboflex 30, 180-200, but with the deans connectors its not a true number.

Cider,what conectors are you useing???????.And what are you getting for IRs with your T35 BL???

on a Turboflex 30, 180-200, but with the deans connectors its not a true number.
Scrap those things and use Dura Trax Power Pole conectors,proven to be much better.:thumbsup::woohoo:

im still using Deans hhmm i might have to switch but i got a hella steal on these deans t plugs

all cycled 3 times at 6 amps flexed at 9 discharged at 15 down to 3.60

Not bad altogeather Rob,you have some good packs on my judgement,pick the top four and use the others for practice.Id like to have a bunch of the # 11s,nice voltage,low IR, and plenty of run time.I cant figure this game out,I was like a missle in practice yesterday,and like a half burnt sparkler taday????????????? LOL.

same motor?
good thing i have extra packs i have to fund a friends a few packs this coming weekend race

Long story with motors,proberly my fault with motor,too high an amp draw.(tinkerinn it!!!!)

Scrap those things and use Dura Trax Power Pole conectors,proven to be much better.:thumbsup::woohoo:

Sorry, before I would use Duratrax, I would use the ORIGINAL AMP connectors. I still have the original test from RC Car Action from 1990 :)

Also my IR numbers are 254-283 on my TFlex 30

OK, I now have a Trinity Dyna-Pulse and Spintec V2.0 to help manage the batterys, I'm likely it so far. I'll see about bring a few packs back from the dead soon.

ok guys there a guy on ebay selling spec packs at 11.00 dont buy from him he buys in bulk cycles them and sells off the junk.
i cycle middle of week charge at 6amps discharge at 15amps to 3.60 best packs have runtime of 420-450 discharge avg. of 4.44- 4.49
strap the best pack in for heats an main and we run five min heats and mains on large concrete oval.
i have found by the main the battery is better than first heat

you talking about the one selling 3 at a time and are new in bags ? they are the only spec packs i saw on ebay right now.

my best packs came from here

http://stores.ebay.com/Denises-Rc-Outlet

on a turbo 30 you'll get ir # from 170- 230 is good thars with deans
also 30 has no memory for discharge intervals got to watch it discharge to get numbers

what is the difference in the average and average v1v on a turbo 35gfx?
