| Since this is the "all electrics" discussion forumn on runryder, I assumed the question was regarding the 2600 nimh cells that are setting new standards for performance (less voltage drop under load) and capacity (more "usable capacity" than even the 3300's at typical motor currents). Yes, the little "A" size 2700's work fine for rx/servo packs where you only draw a couple amps,.. sometimes up to 10 or so if lots of digitals all starting at once (I've measured 12 amps peak but only for a split second, with 5 digitals all in motion).
As to the other question about the 3300's,.. they work OK,.. a bit better than the HV3000's, but still deliver less capacity under normal e-flight loads than the 2600's (which really deliver 2600 as opposed to 2200~2300 from the 3000 and 3300 cells).
As to your sarcastic remark about me saying they're the new "rage",.. well,....... they are. This is the sort of thing that makes me stop visiting forums for a while,.. then I decide to honestly answer someones question and get blasted. I don't know who "safe-cracker" is, or if he really intended to be so sarcastic,.. but I can assure him, I have a fair knowledge of both helis and electric flight.
