i havent tried that lipo, but those hobbypartz lipos seem good.

I'm using a 320mah 3 cell Hyperion. I think it was about $17.

I run Elite 850 7.4V 2S pack from http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com. I have great results from this pack and it is really small.

That's rather big for the MRC. I run Thunder Power 325mAh 2S packs in my MRC and they give plenty of runtime yet don't cause massive weight distribution changes when installed on the truck.

I sorta hate to admit it, but I use the Losi 2S cubes. Very expensive (comparatively), but work well, and are a great size to put beside the servo on the servo/batt tray.

i got like a old hobbypartz lipo idk if they sell it anymore, but its almost the same size as the losi lipo! LOL

I'm running Turnigy nano-tech 370mah 2S 25~40C less than $4 a pack.

too bad the shipping is alot..

btw what type of batterys are the nano-techs?

[Gfresh]

I have a nano-tech by Turnigy.
850mah (some will say thats too big but I like the runtime, and it fits well in my mini juice ontop the front links).

Can be charged at upto 5C too (i.e. 15min charges!). Seems to balance pretty well. No complaints from me. and its got dark blue wrapping. Which is nice.

I run the 3S 850mAh in my 2.2 comp and love them. The 370s or 460s are plenty for a 1.9 comp rig. That is if you are swapping batteries every course.

It is, but the bottom line still ends up being less than half the cost per battery when compared to Hyperion, PolyRC, etc. And the performance is every bit as good.

For the first few cycles, yes. Then they drop way down. Still decent bot not where the Hyperions and Thunder Powers are.

Not trying to start a pi$$ing contest, but I own about every brand (except Max Amps...) and Turnigy / Zippy is on par with all of them.

[Scottmisfits]

Maybe the guys around here running those ones got some duds. I got a couple of the Rhino 45c's. My Hyperion is older, more cycles and still outperforms my Rhino's.

All personal opinion unless you have the high end gear to test them but based on the charger I have used to do a discharge comparison on them, the Hyperions have held a higher voltage longer into the discharge the the zippy's and the Rhino's and have stayed with more consistant discharges as they get older.

[monsterz]

No doubt, Hyperion's are top of the line, and probably the best battery out there. I had one take some serious abuse that even involved short circuting it accidently due to a poor solder job on an adaptor. It puffed up and got quite hot, but amazingly is still working very well and still accepts more charge than it's rated for.

well, you could get the cheapo bats from hobbypartz! ive bought a few turnigy from hobbyking and a few lipos from hobbypartz.

My turnigys dont seem to shine like day 1.

my hobbypartz lipos feel like the same as day 1.

other than that i have no idea.
