Turnigy vs hyperion

[keithbradley]

Here's your link the Hyperion LiPos with Tamiya plugs. Look close, those are tamiya plugs, right?

No. None of those have plugs on the power leads other than the rx style packs. You must be looking at the balance plug as mentioned earlier.

Thanks... Now I need to figure out which ones to buy and snag a set while I can.

Thanks for the info on the deal. At only a few bucks over Turnigy and knowing its a name we can trust its worth it to buy (to me from a newb standpoint).

I have both and like both. They all perform very well. I was impressed, or actually surprised how the so called cheapos keep their capacity and low IR over nearly too years of heavy use. So far HK has saved me hundreds of bucks, making my big electric projects possible.

The Hyperion G3s are better finished, better packaged.

The Turnigy performs as well as if not better than the G3. You do need to redo the plug though for its solder job was really not as good. Im comfortable (and good at) soldering, so that's zero problem.

The one thing that put me of the Turnigy packs the few time i have ordered them from HK i always get one bad pack in the order , just recived an order of 4 packs & yep one pack was puffed & showing no voltage , now its going to cost me as much as the pack did to send it back for warranty , im better off cutting my losses & bining the bad pack ... And HK state they check every battery before they send them , what a joke !!!!!!

[Rumdog]

I personally have never recieved a bad pack from them.

[Himalaya]

Me neither. Hard to remember the exact number of packs I purchased from them but I have at least 10kg of them laying around, must have been over 20 packs and none was bad.

I vote for A123's :) Sorry had to say that, no offense intended.

All this talk about Turnigy & hyperion why does no one mention gens ace which I have heard good thing about & they ship out of CA from hooby partz. Have read some good stuff about blue lipos as well......

[silvermansteve]

when i looked at the link with the hyperions i saw balancing leads and another that looks like the tamiya plugs. i dont know if they are but the poster is not talking about the balancing leads. but they could be receiver packs too.

[Himalaya]

If your taking about the red plug on the main leads, it's a JST plug. Tamiya style OTOH, is those bigger white nylon connectors generally seen on older NiMH packs.

He's not "seeing" things................here's the pic of the Hyperion 20c 7.4v with a tamiya/Molex connector.

Heres how I rate Lipos that I have tried as far as value as well as performance. I can only vouch for these brands as these are the only ones I own. I started out with Turnigy and though well maybe the higher priced packs are better. Boy was I wrong to some degree. While some does provide a small advantage in the peformance department IMO it does not justify the price especially since I'm not out to set records or win any competitions.

1. Turnigy/Zippy
2. Hyperion
3. Voltz
4. Flight Power
5. Blue Lipo ( I got this used from a friend and did not know it's history. )

Do you think the Turnigy Nanos are worth the xtra $?

[BakedMopar]

I have not used the Turnigy Nano's Although they should be similar to the Hyperions.

I have heard some good things about the Polyquests...............here's a couple links, Hobbyking carries 7 pages worth of them................some are quite expensive but these look like a bargain:
