1 Thumbs down?? WTF?? This info is absolute GOLD!!! Especially for beginners and people that are a little worried. Thank You Vas for another great RC Hot Tip!! And a Huge Happy New Year mate!!

[@ggigantorbig]

Grats on first lol I'm just getting Into this hobby now and these videos are exactly what iv been trying to find on KZbin . Best explanation iv found

[@petergoodwin2465]

Thanks Vas, I enjoy all these videos.

[@Barnz1980]

Cheers Vas, I'm definitely using the car terms when explaining batteries to mates👌 the C rating is the fuel pump bro! haha gold 👍

[@rudygarcia9161]

Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot! Hope your family, friends and neighbors are safe mate!

[@offthewallhobbyman6978]

This information should be given to customers at all local hobby shops, but no, they're still trying to sell 20c rating lipos to run in cars like the kraton 8s and then the customer wonders why the batteries are so swollen. Great video Vas, Thanks

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I work at a hobby shop and this is the info I give to my customers. 😉

@@AussieRCPlayground that's great to hear, happy that someone does. Great video, very informative, Thanks

Love the rc hot tip videos. Thumbs up from Sweden

[@mattwaldman1086]

Thank you, very informative and much appreciated!!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching. 😎

I’ve just order a BNF BOB57, 03 unit with Crossfire and tbs tango 2 as my first ‘proper’ Kwad. Been flying Avata for about 6 months but learning all this is vital for me now. It’s been so easy with dji just plugging my batteries in n not worrying about it.

[@S9RUT]

I'm an experienced hobbyist and I always learn something from watching these videos! Also - correct me if I'm wrong - if you divide the mah rating by 1000, you get the maximum Amps you can charge the battery at. E.G: 5200 mah ÷ 1000 = 5.2 Amps ; so a 5200mah battery can charge up to 5.2 amps.

[@nikolajc7617]

Thats the same as 1C rating.

[@colterrlee]

Very smart way to describe the voltage, mAh, and C rating, it was very informational. Enjoyed your vid!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you. Glad I could help. 😊👍

[@kilmore1323]

Also good info 2 refresh the memory, gr8 work as always , wanna c that limitless up & running

[@kizzelgarrett8251]

Yes yes&yes brother good info 👊🏿🤝🏽

[@tysonkeffer8647]

Thanks for that great extlanation

[@12R1rcbashr]

Awesome video once again my brotha some great info. I got my batteries from Ovonic hopefully i get to use them this weekend damn rain oh well thanks again happy bashing my brotha👍🤙😎🤪😜😝👊✌

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Awesome. Glad you got your batteries brother. 😊👍

[@garageworks5246]

You made it extremely easy to understand

[@NordicRC]

Good one. Looking forward to the next. Don't know what that is, so it's gonna be interesting.

[@Abszurdista-fatalista]

Very good introduction to lipos, bro. I might have included the Wh, which is a good indicator of stored energy and also correlates well with the amount of fuel in the fueltank. I am writing this, because when I was a rookie, I thought a 2s 5000mAh lipo will give me the same runtime as a 3s 5000mAh. But my Slash proved wrong every time although a lot depends on your throttle finger. 37 Wh vs 55.5 Wh. Being unaware of this, I had to figure this out on my own expense.

[@gunsandcommissions]

Why are we getting part 2 first? - perhaps I didn’t get the notification for part 1?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Part 1 was uploaded weeks ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep20p4RsbL-NjJo

[@johnsorensen5758]

Thanks vas still waiting for mt410 video?

[@MrNams]

I am building Hexacopter with Frame Tarot 80 pro. Which approach is better to choose battery to have long flight time? 1) Single 6S Battery with higher capacity (x)mAh. 2) Parallel connection of two 6S batteries with capacity (x/2)mAh.

[@ljsmixbox44]

Thanks I've always wanted to know what those numbers mean.

[@dionmedlen1667]

Thanks vas that was interesting, I got something out of this so thanks again

[@i_c_y_u_n_v_me]

I should’ve watched this video before having to buy my 3rd battery 😅

[@dynasty4851]

Thank you for the knowledge. Can you discuss frame rate. Like what is the difference between 5.5ms, 11ms and 22ms?

[@stevewest7260]

For gasoline the higher the octane the cooler the burn. That's why high performance engines run higher octane, to help keep the temperatures down.

[@vino460]

Hi Vas, silly question but every time you charge a battery should the setting be on Balance? or just charge?....should you balance charge your battery every time you intend on using it? Cheers

[@datumotion1448]

Does the battery with high C rating can damage my motor or esc?

[@larry5872]

Hi Aussie, I am a beginner and I need your advice for running my Proboat 26 now. I'm running the boat with a 2200mAh/45C lipo battery connected with my Dynm3860 30A (peak at 80A) Brushless Marine waterproof ESC with a 2 blades propeller with big tough (for better pick-up). I found the boat is not even going fast even I pull my trigger all the way down! Here is my calculation I've learned from you: 2200/1000 Ah x 45C = 99A which is within the 30-180A operational capacity of my ESC It looks ok in term of math but how come my boat is not accelerating fast enough? What can I do in this case? Please help, thanks.

[@Cosme422]

Does the C stand for Current?

[@A1vee]

Great video, what brand batteries do you recommend in Aus? Quite a few local hobby shops are carrying NXE but I can’t find much on the Net about them

[@nickwilliams6869]

So long as the voltage is the same

[@TheWheels1965]

Hi Vas, great video again, question! When should I change from XT 60's to XT90's from 4s up woulds! Thats would be a good video to do! cheers mate!

[@kieranvanblyenburgh]

TheWheels1965 I use XT60’s on everything. I’m using them on 6s, 5000mah, 50c and not an issue at all. I wouldn’t be in a rush to upgrade to XT90’s unless you are running over 8s I imagine 👍💪

[@Powerpickle68]

The octane analogy doesn't work. Higher octane doesn't equal a bigger burn. The octane rating of gasoline is its resistance to burn. A low compression engine won't run as well on a high octane fuel and vice versa for a high compression with low octane fuel

[@AussieRCPlayground]

So I've been told... So use a different analogy, like the number of cylinders. It really doesn't matter what you use as long as it makes sense to you.

[@petergoodwin2465]

@Noobz Threefortyseven That's true , then you can advance the timing for a bigger burn and more power.

[@thatkoonkilla]

Higher the octane the harder it is to burn.

[@bigkahunar.c.5414]

Hey Vas if I stack two 3s 5200mAh does that make it 10400mAh been wondering about that for a while it seems like my Rc runs longer then others

[@stevet8607]

Only if you run it in parallel , mah doubles if you do = longer run time

[@brocklennon3662]

How do your ship the arrma rcs to Australia, I can't find away even through horizon hobby?

[@kasparov937]

Ebay has them and most rc shops

[@powerofflame7677]

Dear can I use 3s 7200mah 80c lipo for traxxas TRX4 Defender?

[@powerofflame7677]

Does it damage to esc ,motor or anything 🤔

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I believe those trucks can handle 3S just fine, so it should be ok. 👍

[@tomkruse3119]

The one thumb down person is a NIMH battery lover who can't afford a brushless...what ever!

[@brandonv4900]

[@AB-80X]

Good infor, but one major wrong. The voltage cannot be compared to octane in any way shape or form. Octane is simply a measurement of a fuels resistance to detonation. Octane has zero to do with energy density, burn rate, or flame front speed. If you want to make such a comparison, it would be between say ethanol and petrol with petrol bei g higher voltage as the energy density of petrol is higher than that of ethanol. Let's once and for all kill the myth that octane means a bigger bang and a hotter burn, because nothing could be further from the truth. If an engine does not knock on 95 RON, putting 100 RON in a car will do squat. If the knock sensor retards ignition on 95, yes then, and only then will a higher octane fuel provide more power, assuming that energy density is the same. I will now step down from my soapbox and we can get back to the scheduled program.

[@MrLunithy]

lol You sound like me explaining that hydrogen does not work in a conventional combustion engine and that the best bang on this planet aside from military weapons is kerosene ...... Saturn 5 F1 7.5 million lbs. (3.4 million kilograms) of thrust.

[@dustinluster7636]

So I do need a higher c rated battery 🤣 irdk

your background music makes this a worthless video! why do you use it? i would like to watch your video but its just not possible.

100% agree with no background music required. No explanation video in the world should contain music.
