Looking for a lipo battery...

[OffShore_RC]

I am looking for a 3S 50C 5000 mah battery, but only found one from venom RC <Not a reputable company from what I have been told>.

Being relatively new to lipos, I need some recommendations on what brands are worth buying with the above specs.

Price is important to me, I don't want to end up spending an arm and a leg on one, if I don't have to.

Lets start with, are you going to race or sport use only?
or both??
and what is the price point your looking for, or max...?
you can spend 40bucks or $200 each...

I will be using it for racing .

Price point, $100 max.

I hope these fit your chassis or hull. Hyperion 45c 5000mah

I was looking for a 50C specifically however, but thanks for trying detox.

Good luck finding that. If you cant use a 45c, then youll be sitting for a long time. Check Thunderpower, but I dont think they have a 50c pack. Are you looking for 50c continuous, or burst? Hyperion makes high quality packs, many racers use them. I highly doubt youll see the 5c difference.

Offshore_RC --- I agree with the above posts....can't you just buy the 45C packs? I race and I use 35C packs (Hyperion 5000'S)....who told you that you NEED 50C packs and why?

[OffShore_RC]

I suppose I could run 45C packs in a Genesis (Which is what I am planning on saving up for). I don't recall the reason a friend gave me (He runs a 100MPH setup in his, but I will be far from it), as it was all greek to me, since I am new to lipo batteries.

Not sure if the ESC I will be using will see the 5C difference (Castle Creations Hydra 240).

an un- modded genesis?
you could run 25-30C packs if you really wanted.

I may. Save myself some money. Only thing I might change is the rudder, other than that I am keeping the motor stock for a while.
