Arrow Mini-T 6-cell Battery Pack Contest

Hey guys. I've been working on a better battery pack for the Mini-T lately, and this is what I've got.

The pack: 6-cell 900 MAh Ni-MH

Charging: Peak Charged on a Tekin BC-112c

Run Time: About 30 minutes of full power

The truck: Team Losi Mini-T

Setup: Team Orion Big Block Motor
Team Losi Oil Shocks; 25 wt oil front/rear
Team Losi Teflon-sealed bearings
6-cell "Blast" 900 MAh Ni-MH pack

Outcome: My truck rode a wheelie for 35 yards down a pavement road.
On my test track it cleared 10 foot triples easily, and could probably jump further. The overall speed and torque almost doubled!

The deal is I have a couple of these packs built right now. They are temporarily called the "Blast", but I am open to your suggestions. Send me some names you think would best fit the pack, and if I like it, I'll send you a prototype to test. Have fun creating cool names, and I will await your suggestions!

Contest Deadline is April 31st, 2004!

Thanks

Sky

900? I'm already running Peak Racing 1200 and Venom Racing 1100's. My set-up includes:

JR XS3 crystal less-radio transmitter
RS300 synthesized receiver
Peak Racing Chubby Micro RS4 Mod Motor
Novak GT7 ESC
HiTec HS-5125MG servo (programmable metal-geared airplane servo)
Venom-Racing 1100 & Peak Racing 1200 Ni-MH 6-cell battery packs
Losi Bearing kit
Losi Oil-filled Shocks (35 front, 40 rear)
Losi Hard Springs
Megatech Mini-Z LED front and rear light kit
Mini “Smasher” Rear Tires w/ Chrome Rims
-Step-Pin Rear Tires for spares (both Chrome Rims & Yellow Rims)
Stock front tires w/Chrome Rims
Stock gearing.

Yes, it wheelies like crazy (asphalt, ozite, who cares) and run time (the way I like it) is 15 minutes. I also don't care to run Mini-Zs any longer than 15-20 minutes max on a set of rechargeables.

Yes, but the MAh is just how long the pack will supply power to the car. A 900 pack will be just as fast as a 1200, it just won't run as long. Now why this pack runs for 25 minutes, and yours runs for 15 baffles me. Yours should run longer. And i do agree with you, usually I only want a battery pack to run for one 5 minute race, but I also need one for bashing at my house for half an hour, stopping and making jumps, tuning the track, etc..

It probably only runs "decent" for 15 minutes because of what is in my Mini-T--it is a very fast 15 minutes.

I can agree with you there, You have hotter Electronics in yours. I'm still using the stock ones. But I'm swapping them out with new ones in about a month. But for now it is fast enough.

I think the contest is still on so well i kinda have two names Couldn't decide which one.

Batt.* Out of heLL
*(Batt. abreviation for batteries)but your suposed to say it like the song

Or something more simple The Ripper!
Because it sounds more Menacing than the Blast
also sounds like your t rips up the track

I don't have a stock servo as of now that I'm not using. I will soon, as I will be replacing my Stock Electronics with Tekin ones. I'll let you know...
