Perhaps a PSA..and a chance for @SrC To say "I told ya so".
I bought a pair of Zeee 4s 7200 120C batteries a month ago for $100. Good deal I thought. I have used Zeee batteries many times over the past few years and been satisfied. Initially, I ran these in my stock Xmaxx and all seemed well and good. I just got a K8S v1 rtr about a week ago. I ran them in it, truck seemed soft but I wasn't sure if it was due to the stock Firma 1250kv 4985 or what. I dropped a Firma 1100kv 5687 in, 26t pinion, eh, still seems soft. Then my brother came out Saturday with his O8S exb, Max6/1100 equipped. We did some speed runs up and down my driveway, I got maybe 2 passes before my truck dropped to half speed..huh. After sitting for a couple seconds, takes right off like I expect it too, only to fall on it's face again. Occasionally hitting LVC. So, I checked esc, no flashing lights, nothing is hot. Well, lets throw some Spektrum 5000 100c in and see what happens..whoa!! It came alive! After at least 10 full throttle pulls, no signs of giving up.. so, I guess my Zeees have gone high-IR.. I'm messaging back and forth with Zeee now to see what they have to offer. Take a look at these IR readings..
