And C is not for coulombs.It is for "capacity".So for a 5000 mah pack,1C is 5 amps per hour.So if a number is 'n',it means 'n' times the battery's capacity.So 40C on a 5000 mah pack is 200 amps for 90 seconds.

If max is 5C @ 3000mah, max current = 15A.
What happens in a Nixx is discharged at a higher rate. Lipo puffs up so what happens with nixx?

Heats up, resistance increases but no case of explosion till the discharge is extremely low thats why we dont need LVC with them.

But,NiMHs have been known to explode under EXTREME circumstances.I believe they can go down to 0.00V/cell and it won't hurt them nor will they have a memory like NiCd batteries.

Memory effect is negligible in Nimh.
I dont know about this voltage thing that u said, and never heard of it, may be my knowledge falls short lol Wink
And yeah, un over charge/discharge these NiXX explode of like a shot gun shell !!!!!

Says here nixx do not have specific C rating. The discharge depends on the cell itself and on the manufacturer :

Lol that's a good idea. But on training mode I don't think it'll hurt to have others give a go.

Hey what's the speed on one of these on stock batteries? Not on Training mode but 100%. I'm planning on picking up an electric in the near future. But I don't want the hassle of LiPo.

That's more than enough! I'm more inclined towards acceleration than top speed really.. So no speed pinions.

Well I'm by nature extremely lazy and careless. And LiPo's I've heard usually need childlike care at times. Cheesy Plus I'm looking only at the 2WD model currently. I need a hobby grade basic funtime runner. You know like your regular toy rc cars, but of a much higher quality.
