I thought I seen a thread on here about cheap Hong Kong lipos from ebay, but now I cant find it. Has any one tried these, and if so are they worth buying. thanks :help:

Try Hobby king. The rhinos are good and so are the zippys and Turnigys.

:iagree:
The Hobbyking lipos are brilliant. The only soft case packs I prefer to them are Hyperion.

+1 for the Hobby King Lipo's too.
I found this site recently and have some 4800's 2s coming (only $12.50 each), really cheap so I'm not expecting too much.

I've had nothing but problems with Hobby King Turnigy lipos-- several dead packs upon receiving them and no practical way to return them...
Buyer beware.

I like all the Turnigy I have and I have 16 packs so far no problems
as for the one at that site I would stay away from them. they look weak to me.

I've got 2 packs coming to see what they are like... I normally use Zippy's from HK and have had no issues with them.
Will report once I receive and run a few cycles through them.

Never had a single problem with any HK lipos. Great for the price. Never got a bad one out of the box.

Turnigy LiPo are amazing :biggrin: I prefer Turnigy never had a problem, Flightmax are lower qualityand too much bad cells
On Ebay, HiTopMax are the best, I' ve got a set of HiTopMax 11,1V 4500mAh 35C those batteries are high quality

Someone opened these up and claims they're the same cells as the Turnigies from HK:

And they seem to be in stock more often than the Turnigies these days.
