Orca 4000 20C lipo review Part 2

After 4 runs on the Orca 4000mAh 20C lipo, I feel its crap! The punch is really poor but it did feel that it last longer. Anyway, I want more PUNCH in the lipo. Honestly, I dont think the pack is 20C at all. Even my Yeah Racing 3200 20C gives better punch than the Orca. Should have stick to Yeah lipos all the way...

TRF416 1st run with IP 3800 lipo

Had my 416 first run this afternoon. One word - WOW!. The car has a lot of grip and steering even with a spool. I was using old set of tires but the car still sticks to the ground. Rear diff was really smooth and acceleration was great.

The IP 3800 was very punchy and may perhaps live up to its 35C claim. Only thing is that I have not added weights to the pack which causes the car's balance to be off during corners. I will be designing a lipo weight pack and check whether a friend of mine is able to machine it for me :)
