    I also have a great battery that I sell. Check out the Dinogy brand at performancerclipos.com
    I believe these to be the best bang for buck compared to TP and Hyperian.

      Marks dinogy batts are sweet. Hold voltage well and the price is fair. Check out his site cause his boats go real fast . Zoom zoom.

        I second that about marks cells, best bang for buck on the market right now, and I use thunder powers and nano techs with gd results but I needed 2s packs for Fe nats so I tried them and they worked great, so gd I'm going to replace my TP with them, I puffed a TP 4s 5000 in a p spec hydro and also lost 1 (i stupidly left on car roof and drove home)

          I think I have a bad cell in one of my Dinogy 2s packs after about 10 runs....?

            Unlike the other cheaper batteries, I give a 6 month warranty in case you do get a bad cell. I have only had to replace one pack so far with many sold. If the ballance is way off on one cell let me know in a PM.

              About a month ago did a test/tune run with my spec mono; walking back to my table two "pops" came from inside the boat. Untaped and here's what was inside. No more GenAce for me.

              Dinogy's = Great batteries. That's all I'm using now.

                Tony, How are your Turnigy NANO TECH 4s 5000mah 45-90c cells holding up? Mine still have perfect balance.

                  My oldest pair ( over one year old & lots of use) are history. I have a single bought just for a 1P boat doing fairly well. Oddly, I have a pair of 4S 4000 45/90's that are quite old (over 1 1/2 years old- one with a corner dented) and they're still useable for spec power applications. I'd still use Turnigy Nano's but the Dinogys for not a whole lot more are miles better for racing applications, especially SAWS where even a little voltage drop can make the difference between a try and a record.

                        So are you guys saying the dinogy battery is better than gen aces? Plus the genaces are fairly out of stock everywhere.

                          GenAces aren't bad for what I'd call "hobby grade" applications. For max performance Dinogy's are way ahead - not to say TP or Hyperion aren't good 'tho Dinogy's are more cost-effective.

                            Tony is that a fire proof surface. Don't think your neighbor will make it out in time in the event of a fire.
                            Just teasin. Can't seem to use the little faces from an I pad.

                              I just sit them there for storage. My neighbor is a 6'2" Brazilian hottie model. I yell fire every so often just to watch her run out in her thong
