Hey guys, decided to do some hardcore tests on one of these packs, Polyquest is one of the top names, and IMO FAR better quality than SMC / Fantom / Intellect etc.
Pack is:

I tested it in my Slash VXL which I know on my 5100 25C pack has regular amp spikes up to 80 amps and the occasional 100 amp spike.
I was expecting that a week pack would still try and feed an 80 amp spike but with significant voltage drop, a healthy pack would maintain voltage while, not necessarily pushing 80 amps, still giving a decent bit of poke.
Anyway, was looking for a healthy discharge curve such as this:

Performance wise, top speed / punch etc felt pretty much the same, possibly slightly less on take off but it was negligable. Gave it a good thrash on the wet grass and got the following data:
Amps:

Volts:

Conclusion:
Very impressed, even maintaining regular bursts up to 60 amps, the pack stayed cool for the duration of the run, and no sign of excessive voltage drops at all. For an 18C 3200 pack to do this on a 60 amp burst is a really good result.
Great value pack, and yes the 5000mah 25C pack does have more punch obviously (80 amps vs 60 amps), you could still run a VXL on this thing without risking puffing or even heating up the pack.
