Says this video is unavailable for me did u have to subscribe to the service mate?

Probably no more of a fix than any other promo video we see.

This was mentioned in a thread yesterday then I got it in an email from them and could not they think its good practice as a business to do that

[Paulo uk]

Its funny that its the complete opposite of the truth:

1st Place = TP
2nd Place = Turnigy Blue
3rd Place = NT

No?

What is interesting about that video, is that neither the Thunder Power, or the Nano-tech were managing to deliver the 65C stated. They were only capable of delivering around the 40C mark.

[Andy from Sandy]

I am not going to watch it again but didn't they say they reduced the load as the test equipment wasn't capable of the full load when using all the lamps?

[bigpops]

That was to protect the watt-meter. To save it burning out, they only measured one row of lamps instead of three; so the readings for watts and current needed multiplying by three.

Nanotechs are brill. This one is 19 cycles and perfectly balanced

Aw Andrew,you bwoke it

You cant deny the fact that the nanotech was the better pack in that test, However after more cycles the test would be completely different I suspect. I have a 3s 2200mah nanotech that is much worse than a regular 3s 2200mah turnigy and a 45-90c one that is only marginally better but twice the price at least.

All HK have proved is that their high end pack is marginally better than mediocer one, all my nano techs have been excellent but I dont push them and I'm not expecting them to last - but then again TP packs don't seem to last that well either.

Treat lipos a bit like milk, use them alot and they'll just run out and leave them too long and they go bad - if you don't expect too much out of them then you'll never be disappointed.

Aw Andrew,you bwoke it

..yeah, think I did, but they were cwappy to start with

[Swashbuckler]

My findings are:
Nanotech = quality of pack is revealed within 10 cycles, no power and/or puffing
Blue Turnigy = Marginally better maybe 30 cycles
Loongmax = Not powerful but fairly stable for a lot of cycles 50+
Voltz = Different class of power to the previous 3 only completed 15 cycles so far though (no sign of degradation)
Optipower = Most powerful of all these again only completed 15 cycles though (no sign of degradation)

You can light as many bulbs as you like, anyone who has tested nanotech against anything else will know the truth.
