Patrick, my new camcorder got ripped a few months ago. I'll see if Jan can shoot some footage. With some really tired batteries & small props [for the 1515 1Y] the boat is so perfect I'm just floored. Just beautiful to see and run [ I even put the wing on for looks !

Tony, I'll be happy to tape it... asa long as you tape my DH and other two surprises (near future)...

He ain't kidding, the VS1 just shreds the pond... beautiful to see.

Its going to fly. by buddy got some last week. we ran them in the ul-1's and i cant believe the power they have. they are comparable to my high end packs. last night i ordered two 30c 4s and 4 30c 2s packs.the only thing that kinda concerns me is how long they will last but at the price they are at i think i will get my moneys worth out of them.

I got 2 for my new ul-1 Turnigy 5000 2s 30c and one 3s 30 c 5000mah. I plan on giving 5s a go on 8xl and etti 150 opto. The 3s in my df 26 was a BEAST!!

[Rumdog]

I haven't heard any bad stories of these cells yet. Why pay more, even if your a racer? Is 30c not enough. A little over a year ago you couldn't even get 30c packs!

30c is great if it is truly 30c and i believe the Turnigy are. my same friend also wasted money on some 30c packs off fleabay that were more like 10c.

[Rumdog]

Well, 4s to start. I WILL try 5s though. If all is cool, that will be my daily setup.

I've been really happy with the Zippy Flightmax 30/40 C 5000 4S batteries; used singly in my P-Spec OPC with UL-1 motor. Great punch so far. I want to order another pair for sport running at 4S2P in my Vegas [ 1515 1Y ] . Any advice on choosing between:

Zippy Flightmax - 30/40 C , 526 g , 140 X 48 X 33 mm, $ 79.02

Turnigy - 30/40 C , 537 g , 143 X 49 X 32 mm, $ 64.95

Apparantly they're not the same batteries ; the Turnigys seem larger, but less $$.

Any advice/feedback ?

Edit : I'm running a conservative setup propwise in the Vegas, sport running so far, short runtimes. Mr. Hill, you have any input, you're our battery knowledge guy ?

Hi i have it from a good source that Flightmax,Turnigy,Rhino batts are all made in the same place,the rhino lipo says on the lable Zippy battery
so i guess it's a personal choice you just buy the ones that suits your application for size etc the quality is the same best lipos for the price
I personally wil never again buy expensive lipos fo any my applications hobbyking all the way

If those packs were bad, it would be written down all over the place.....big US hobby distributors don't know anything and will sell anything to make a buck, that's why I started messing with batteries to begin with. I know this is not popular with some, that's my experience.

Flight Power is the perfect example of this from Tower Hobbies
