I'm in Hawaii and though beautiful in its own right, its a whole different type of beauty than Ireland.
Oh Jesus yes different beauty maybe one day I would go there
Master piece size to power ratio but now there is plenty of good copies like hw 4985 same size motor about same powerI changed the punch control setting on the MMX 8s today from 50% to 30%, and man what a difference it made. I was showing my Kraton 6s to my neighbor, and I decided to mash the trigger. On 6s, from a full stop on short grass, my Kraton did a complete 360 degree reverse flip, landed on the wheels, and took off like a bat out of hell. I was dumbfounded at how much torque the 1717 has: I had previously done this while running on 4s, and the Kraton only did a 180 degree backwards flip and landed on its roof. I never expected the Kraton to do a complete backwards 360 and keep going. My neighbor smiled and said "That wheelie bar didn't do much good". All I could do is laugh.

I switched from Zeee and gensacearespammers to strictly all Yoowoo graphines. I have 3s,4s and 6s 5000mAh 100C yoowoo graphines that are the best performing and longest lasting lipos ive ever owned. My 6s puts out 260+ Amps and only gets slightly warm. I switched to 400amp connectors because 120’s were getting hot. I got 350 runs out of one 6s lipo and 120 so far on my second.I'm hoping I don't have to use a fan when it gets warmer. If I do, I have a fan mount and 40mm PowerHobby Tornado fan in reserve.
I ran My Kraton 6s today on two Zeee 3s 5000mAh 50C batteries, but it wasn't much faster than on the Spektrum 4s 5000mAh 100C battery I keep in it most of the time. I'm hoping the 20T pinion will give me just the right amount of speed I need. Based on the recommendations on the forum, I'm considering purchasing a single Yowoo 6s 5000mAh 100C graphene battery, as soon as my wallet recovers from other RC vehicle upgrades.
Didn’t you figure out it was your settings that fried the 1520? Something about set to 109,000 rpm. Which would blow up any and all motors on the market. I don’t count user error against the tools failing.
Man, I be trying to tell people those yowoo graphenes are AMAZING. Every time I see a battery thread here, I mention them because they really are amazing in comparison to the likes of zee, gens, ovonics, and etc etc. Now my zees are for when my wife wants to drive the kraton because she already struggles with the max 6 combo power so I throw the weaker battery in there. Yowoos make that big of a difference lol.
I recently purchased a CNHL 6s Speedrun 5200mAh 90C battery, and it really woke the Kraton up. The battery was on sale for the Lunar New Year at close to half price directly from CNHL. I'm pleased with the way it performs.
The yoowoo graphenes are rebadged turnigy panther 75c graphenes. At least the 6S yoowoo is, while taking apart the dead 6s yoowoo the cells were clearly marked “Panther”. CNHL, Turnigy and some HRB are the only other brands with similar performance to yoowoo. HRB graphenes are made by yoowoo but are lighter with barely better than normal lipo performance IMO
Damnit, now I'm going to have to order another set of batteries!
its a tight fit but it fits no problem. I even got the 4s yowoo graphenes to fit for 8s
The reason I ask is I had a Hoovo 6s and it wouldn’t fit in the battery tray without damaging the outer covering. I had to return it, and I don’t want to make a mistake in size again if I decide to order another brand of 6s LiPo. But I’m really pleased with the CNHL 6s speedrun 5200mAh 90C batteries, so I might just order another on of those. Or maybe the 6200mAh version.
I’m not a fan of SMC and especially the max amps and traxxas lipos. SMC has good ones but I find better ones easier and faster. Their whole switch from graphene is fake to making their own graphenes really make them look like hippocritical sellouts. Heavy usually equals better consistent amp draw and less voltage sag even if it’s not advertised as graphene, which is why the old 1100g turnigy were so good. Any 6s 5000mAH less than 750g won’t have nearly the same performance as the 920g yoowoo. The Yoowoo 6s 5000mAh 100C barely fits my v3 6S arrma kraton and actually needs to be coaxed in there pretty good. The 3s and 4s fit easily. Also put some foam or piece of cardboard on the bottom of arrma trays or your lipos could be punctured like my Zees.
