    Fluid,
    Because of your words, I just bought over $6,000 in lipo batteries from ThunderPower and a set of special batteries for my girlfriends "toys" So now with that kind of power 'in her hands' she will leave me alone all weekend long. Giving me enough time have a "Guys night out" FRI SAT and SUN. Your words have changed my life Sir,
    and I Thank you.

    Mr.T

      Now that is what I call literally thinking out of the box.
      And it is always good to have the right tool for the job.

        There is a new battery company on the scene which so far testing has shown to be on par with the thunderpowers and at a greatly reduced price. I'm using some of their packs and they are proving out to be great! How about a 40C 4S 5000 for $56! AND they are warehoused here in the states! No absurd shipping charges or long waits!

            I have run thunder power cells hyperions gens ace and sky lipos there is nothing that comes close to the TP's although hyperions are very good as well but for the average sport running the gens and sky's will do just fine like I said I use them all and am happy with each lipos performance the only problem I had was with the turnigy's nod other hk lipos but others as you read have some success with them otherwise jay/fluid stated it perfect
            You get what you pay for
            Thanks

              If that is actually true then they are terrible businessmen. Why on earth would a company - with a product that actually was as good as the top brand in the market - price them at less than 50% of the top packs when they could easily get more? Either they are very foolish, or..............I'm just sayin'.

                Does the charge C rating have any relationship to the battery quality? I am noticing that there are a lot of claimed 40C batteries out there, but then they have very low charge "C" ratings as compare to other 40C rated batteries which makes me suspicious?

                    They can do it because they sell direct from manufacturer to you. NO ASSEMBLERS (Thunder Power for example) and NO MIDDLE MEN OF ANY KIND.

                      I think it has more to do with which manufacturers are being honest and those who are not! The Charge C rating is a great sales tool and I believe a lot of battery sellers are exaggerating the rating. I charge my packs at 2-3C, never more regardless of what the seller claims.

                        These days, no one should be over paying for lipos. Save yourself a few bucks, do your homework and stop being fooled by the pretty wrapping.

                          It is not just pretty packages fluxin 81 I myself had had turnigy's go up in flames in high current systems so have friends of mine you can clearly see and feel the difference you might be able to run cheap packs in cars and that's about it IMO the lowest grade I would even consider is the gens ace I used alot of lipo's out there and there are a few companies can get you by for sport running but they are not like TP's or hyperions and don't last nearly as long Plus people half to get what they can afford and a few sets of high end lipo's really add up I use 700 dollars in lipo's at one time in one of my sprintcat's for 4 to 5 min of run time

                            I started out with Venom, Max Amps and TP. I wanted the best. I got some Gens Ace and Sky Lipos on a trade and they were just as good. I searched for them. When I found out they only cost a fraction of what I was paying for lipos, I fell like a retard. I've had over 30 Gens Ace and Sky lipos with no problems. I'm not the only one with success. These lipos are only sold on two online shops and they don't stay in stock. There's no use in arguing. Facts are facts and a few people even have reviews of these lipos against the top brands. Spend more if you want, it's your money.

                              I run Turnigy's in ALL of my boats, besides the mini/micros. They work great. My Sprintcat uses about 160.00 in lipos at one time. I bet I can hang too. It's been maybe a year since I have bought any new packs, but when I do, I'll try the Gens Ace. They're getting great reviews. If I had to buy TP packs for all my boats, I wouldn't be in this hobby.

                                I agree the gens are a good pack and so are the sky lipo's especially for the money I run them as well but I can see a difference in my setup with my TP or hyperions and my data logger also will show it as well I never said they were a bad pack just not as good as some other packs the the difference in performance is not worth the price to some people but I think it is everyone has their own opinion and rum I bet u can hang I seen some of your boats run u set up a boat well
