30C is a low discharge rate? Hmmm yeah probably not. and it takes about 2 weeks to get them. everyone I have recomended those batteries to whom have purchased them are very happy including myself.

90% of RC lipo's come from 2 companies. the rest is made in the US with product purchased from Hong Kong.

so what do you recommend for a good charger?

[team3six]

I suggest this charger. it has a good backing, has a built in balncer, highly used among other RC'ers. and does pretty much everything out there

check the vendors and see if they have it in stock. I am pretty sure rpphobby has it in stock as well.
and this is the battery i am using. like I said, if you dont mind waiting a couple of weeks at the most. the price is excellent and its a great size to fit most axle applications. Pretty much all of them I have ordered have come with the deans plug attached. So its plug and go.
