Thumbs up

Well if you ask me....

It looks like a towel rack...

I get the pun....a towel rack because MaxAmps recharges not only your batteries...but you as well.

I am a marketing genius.

A charging rack / battery connector system that allows multiple configurations of single cells by the end user.

Just to clarify: You sell single lipo cells, and can arrange them in 3s2p, 2s3p, or any combination you want.. As well as a charging system to charge all the cells at once.

stack-able cells? They connect to each other kind of like Lego blocks. You can connect them in series or parallel in any which way you want to make any configuration you want. They can be charged individually or tested individually or as a complete pack.

A pack that can be charged as a parallel pack but used as a series pack?

Ex: 7.4v 5000mAh would charge as a 3.7v 10,000mAh pack?

That or some sort of onboard balancing system so that all you have to do is charge and drive the thing, but at the same time it doesn't drain the pack while sitting?

the winner is me

What we have here is an amplifier that works with your battery and speed control. It is basically like nitrous for your rc, and it recharges itself when a newly charged battery is installed.
You can send my slash 4x4 to 680 W. 5th st., Crandon, Wi 54520

Thanks

Look at the first post in the first page there is an silhouette of the product they are talking about.

I've been away for too long and just came back and i'm not familiar with modern technologies. So I must say I do not have a clue of what racers need and do not have at the moment.

Could look like some sort of radiator but then again it would be useful only for charging as it would take too much space in a vehicule. Could look like a BYO pack rack but then again i'm afraid it would not be rugged enough for vehicules ... I really am trying to figure out what racers need that can potentially look like the image and i'm having a hard time.

Can't wait to see what they have come up with ! I love engineering !!
