I have used this mystery lipo...you see them on ebay for dirt cheap. They can MAYBE pull 40 amps. (supposedly this exact battery can pull 42 amps.....
2100mah /1000 *20c =42 amps) but I doubt it will actually pull that. I ran one in a little rigger on an 8xl and It only ran for about 1 min, then it was gone. If you are pulling much less than 42 amps..it might work. But unless you are running it in a micro, it will probably burst, puff etc.

Just my two cents from experience, with mystery lipos.

personally never used or heard of them...but I wouldnt touch them

I just ordered two 3s 2200mah 20c turnigy bats from hobby city they have 10guage wire the the new turnigy lipo's are acually zippy with bigger gauge wire
the rumor is the turnigy has somehow took over zippy "zippy" will be phased out

the two batts cost me $46 shipped

i think zippy is the finest cheap lipo there is and have had reviews that state as good as bigger name brands

I've had good luck with Hobby City but they seem to be out of a lot of the 3S1P packs and have been for some time now...bummer.

Let me let you in on little secret......do a search for xps lipo

They have 2s1p 5000mah 30c for $60 each and hard case for $70

On that search you will find forums on guys giving reviews on them.......the concensus is that they are as good as enerland cells and they use 10 gauge wire
