Win Max Lipos Any Good?

[Drax21]

They look pretty good from the outside. But as I have always been told "It's whats inside that count" lol

I havent tried them either - but for the price, I guess I'd gamble.

I just received the 4pcs of 2s 5200mah Win-Max Nano-Platinums before the new year and currently charging them early to test this coming Sunday. Bought this for my Miss Geico.
I hope they will be okay.

I know of one ebay seller that is LeaderHobby. http://myworld.ebay.com/skywave2009/

Here are the RCGroup threads.

Did you know they sell on ebay too. Plus you get buyer protection on ebay if something does go wrong. I have just been looking through some seller's feedback who sell WinMax Lipos. 5 vendors on ebay alone all with practically the same description so may just be Leaderhobby. There has been NO negative or neutral feedbacks for these batteries..all positive!
My battery will be here on Weds/Thurs. I really hope I haven't wasted my money!

Look forward to your review...I was planning to use them as 12S 5200 in a 800 size E heli.

I have bought one off a member on another forum. He uses the winmax 4s batteries and he said he gets good run times and he is very happy with the power. He even uses them in competitions and has won a few car races with them.
He bought a 5200mah instead of a 4400 one by mistake so sold me the 5200 battery. If you don't want to take the risk. Let me try out this battery in my boat first. Will let you know if its any good.
I have noticed that a Turnigy Nano-Tech 5000mah 35-70c is about 100grams heavier than a WinMax Nano-Platinum 5200mah 30-60c.

Check out this link, not Winmax but a LeaderHobby lipo review.

I happened to come across LeaderHobby and Winmax yesterday and was looking for reviews just as you are. I have not found many positves about any lipos LH sell, RCGroups has a couple of threads on the subject as well.

The 6S 5200 50-100C are just too good to be true for under $80.

I have seen these in a few places for sale now. Packaging looks like they spend a bit of time on but haven't heard of people running them.
The pack I have my eye on is a

WinMax 4s 5200mah 30-60c discharge. Nano-Platinum
Also says it can be charged at 5c

So from these details, they sound some good and are priced around the same as Turnigy's Nano-Techs.

Anybody have any experience with these?
