Best battery for the money?
 

So I'm looking for a great 2s lipo pack with at least a 50c rating and around 5000mah. No maxamps please. They are way too expensive for me. I'm looking at around the $50+ range.

My go-to place is out of stock on 60C/5200 packs, but they have 50C/6000 packs in stock. Thirty-three bucks.
Or you could look and see if the Asians have anything in stock in their US warehouse.

Check out Value Hobby or SPC lipos.

SMC, Gens Ace, Nano Tech

What are you running that you need a 50C battery? 50C on a 5000mah is 250 amps.

You did not say hard or soft case? Either way, I'm a strong supporter of the Turnigy Nano-Techs. They have several options that meet your criteria ranging from $23 for a soft case 5000mah with 50C burst to a hard case 6000mah with 130C burst for $42.

Is everyone ordering these from Hobbyking? The shipping is outrageous. I live in WA and they want $15+ to send it 170 miles.

Don't pick UPS but rather USPS Priority. I think they charge like $6.95 or something.

I'll be running it in my scx10s and my 2wd sc truck, and I need a hard case for sure.

Re: Best battery for the money?
 

UPS is the only option I get besides self pickup and it's $10 for two 2200mah lipos.

I'm a big fan of value hobby.

These are close to what you are looking for, for $30. Value Hobby R/C Hobby Store (Addison, Illinois): GForce Elite Series 45C 4600mAh 2S Car Shorty Hard Case LiPO Pack

I am a fan as well.. I ordered (2) 3s Gforce 3300mah 30C Lipo's for $58.99 shipped! "thumbsup"

Re: Best battery for the money?
 

Same here, Value Hobby GForce lipo's.

Wondering if any of yall have messed with the B-grade hobbyking stuff? Prices for these packs are ridiculously low. 17$ for a 5k 35c 2s. Or close. I mean lipos either work, or they don't. Course, they could stop working after 2 cycles too. I wonder cuz i ordered one along with some other packs a few (like 5!) weeks back. If i ever gettem, i'll post how they work for me.

Re: Best battery for the money?
 

I have heard that the b grade packs are total junk. They have like a 70% failure rate. The plain turnigys and nano techs are a lot better. But I'd like to see how they are.
