Scott34 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 right, first off i'll start by saying, so far, so good, but........ i dont think they're as good as plazma's. these http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hpi-plazma-7.4v-5300mah-30c-lipo-rectangular-case-stick-pack-re-chargeable-battery-deans-plug-jst-xh-balance-lead/rc-car-products/34108 v's these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__21937__Turnigy_nano_tech_5800mah_2S_40_80C_Lipo_Pack_TRA2843_Slash_Rustler_Bandit_Stampede_compatible_.html now firstly, the punch power, the nano's, 40c- 80c ; plazma's, 30c ; my opinion the plazma has noticeably more punch power second, the run time , the nano's, 5800mah ; plazma's 5300mah ; my opinion the plazma seems to run, on average, longer than the nano's and third, after running the nano's feel quite warm fourth, don't know if this matters but when fully charged the plazmas max voltage 4.22 and the nano's 4.20 so, my conclusion is, the plazma is a far superior battery. i know it's a bit dearer, alot dearer but, my next batteries will be plzma's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldblades7 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 That surprises me! I had a few plazma batts (the older version) and thought they were great. Never thought the difference would be quite so noticable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I thought he did? You're not the first to find nanos under performing, it's been widely reported elsewhere. I don't think they're all they're cracked up to be, just cheap and cheerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott34 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 i thought they were decent spec. i didn't see much with higher spec than what i got. for the price tho, nano's seem to be a good battery(only run them a few times so far so cant comment how they stand upto a lot of runs, let you know in a day or 2 ). but, like i said before, although they're alot dearer, i think i'll get plazma's again next time oh, plazmas, as you already probably know , are hard case too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott34 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 me too 'goldblades', plazmas seem to be a great battery. and for the price, nano's are too. i just wish i got more plazma's now. oh well, they're not crap batteries and i'll have to get more plazmas in the new year = more run time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm in no way a fan of nanos, but for the money they are really good, but since i discovered Gens Ace packs i'll happily pay a few extra quid for a much better pack, think it really is a case of you get what you pay for 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Another thing widely noted, nanos drop off on capacity very early, something like 20 cycles and it can be noticeable. Let us know your findings on that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott34 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 i know that they should be a better battery at 40 odd quid more, just its the first rc and first batteries and i was told that nano's are the battery to get and plazmas are, in a word, not so good. think i was waiting so long for them to get here and to get the deans on, i was expecting them to be as good. not moaning about the nano's tho, just to be clear, , just saying that plazmas for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksprogis Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My 6000mah 65c - 125's have been great so far , really notice the punch over a 25c overlander . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 found the zippy hardcase perform better then nano's on my mamba system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My Nano's aren't notably any worse than my Losi cells - and the Losi's used to be a team drivers set! Actually thats not true - at first I found the Nano's disappointing but they improved after a few uses. I prefer the Losi's in my car because they are a little heavier and balance it better but the Nano's with weights on would be as good.

Scott34 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 maybe i've just got a bit excited with them and gave them too much for too longer bursts. will try them again tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've changed from 25C 3S 'Unknown' LiPos from Kershaw, which performed reasonably well, to 65/130C 5Ah 3S Nanotech's, and the Mamba Monster's tripping out! Speed difference is very obvious - miles better battery - SO FAR. As you say, it's early days. Anyone any experience with the 'true 100C' MaxAmps batteries? Al.

GorillaZilla Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Avoid MaxAmps like the plague. Look them up. Ruddy con merchants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicideneil Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm curious how you've been breaking in the Nano techs, and how many cycles the Plazmas already have; simply running new lipos like normal ( full tilt boogie... ) is not how you get the best from them, you have to take it easy for a few runs ( heck, some guys say take it easy for a dozen runs ) and you will notice the punch and capacity improve. Also, lipos charging up to 4.22v per cell isn't actually a good thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny boy Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I adore my nanotech 2s saddle pack cells. Seem to offer just as much punch off the line as anyone else using losi/vampire/hpi cells in 1/10 buggies on the track. And being strong for a year now, 4 charges a week for the last 52 weeks, which is 208 cycles, and still great cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
