Got any cells?
Saw this last night on facebook.
It's Duracell who has managed a world record in running distance for a rc car.
I'm happy I don't solder those packs

Re: Got any cells?
thanks for sharing
What's funny is, they did this on a Ni-XX based energy source, it seems... then again Duracell doesn't cell, er, sorry, sell Lipos
I suspect there's a way to do a LOT more mileage with a LOT less heavy car... but, hey, they planned it and they executed it, so more power (pun intended) to them!

Re: Got any cells?
I was thinking the same thing. I'd bet a standard 2s lipo in a 10th scale car could hit about 1/6 of this distance.Lonestar wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 4:39 am thanks for sharing

Re: Got any cells?
Well done Duracell but there has to be an easier way.
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: Got any cells?
I feel like I get behind some one like this at least once a day...
But it was cool. I'm thinkin the car got quite the workout on that run and agree with romulus22 that it was good to see it on real time roads instead of those test tracks type setup

Re: Got any cells?
Ok, so who's gonna be the first to sue Duracell for endangering the public for unsafe operation or start a facebook hashtag movement over using a non renewable energy source ?

Re: Got any cells?
Traxxas will certainly sue them for something. Maybe infringement on Traxxas' patent for battery layout, or something.
