Get Super Small RC Receiver Packs

[Hank Hagquist]

We now have available the smallest receiver cell on the market. This cell is
ideal for those that run 4-cell oval classes and for those that run low turn
motors in any type of vehicle.

The small size makes it easy to fit in the most convenient place on your car
with the least weight penalty possible. 150 mAh capacity of these NiMh cells
means they will easily get you through your race.

Those miniature sells have been available in most of Europe for the past 2-3
years, can't believe that only now someone has decided to make a receiver
pack out of it

I remember seeing on in one of the ultimate speed run cars several years
ago. Have been making my own smaller packs for sometime as well out of 2/3
AA batts.

We have been using 1/3AAA cells for over 15 years for receiver packs. These
cells are smaller then the normal 1/3AAA cells that used by most everyone.

Anyone else for the <Mine's smaller than yours> competition?

Makes a change from the usual brag :)

The GM Racing SX9 Purple ESC and the Mtroniks M3 Cubic ESC are both
amazingly tiny...

And when is someone going to build up an electric vehicle powered by those
new 2000mah AA cells?

I'd like to run a 10 cell stick pack powering a 380-size brushless motor in
a buggy... nice and low CG...

Won't work very well. The amount of current a battery can produce is
dependent on the surface area of the plates. For us that means a sub-C
will make more power than a AA.

That is unfortunate...

What's the technical term for the amount of current a battery can produce?

So those new AA's have got voltage and capacity, just not that other factor?

It's probably a function instead of a constant. Consider that any battery
can produce X amound of amp-draw, but NiCds and NiMHs will retain full mAh
capacity at higher amp-draw than Alkalines will. I know I'm really
confusing myself now.

In theory, any battery can supply pretty much all the current you
need. However, it doesn't work out like that in the real world. A
while back I put a propellor on a little Radio Shack motor and spun it
with 10 AAs. The thing would make about 3 revolutions before flinging
the prop clean off the shaft. Then I tried it with an A23 (I think
that's it) 12v battery, which is smaller in all dimensions than a AAA.
It would barely spin, but the cell got very hot very fast.

So let's all just stick with sub-Cs in anything bigger than a Micro
RS4 ;)

Power density, I think. I take a passing interest in full-size EVs
and hybrid vehicles; and in most comparison tables between different
battery technologies you'll get a column for energy density (total
stored energy per unit mass, or possibly volume), and another for
power density, which relates to the ability to provide high currents.

From memory, Nicads still score pretty well on power density even
though they're beaten on energy density by Ni-MH and Li-ion. The
ultimate for power density, though, are power capacitors :-)
