I was just at my lhs and the ower said said that the Gens acc and the Turnigys are not good batteries and I should go with some maxamps or other high end batteries, is he right? I hear a lot of good things online about Turnigy and Gens acc so I'm not sure what to do.

@lawnmowerdude This is not sarcasm or humor, but your LHS is simply mad that they don't sell inexpensive packs because they need higher-margin products in order to pay the rent. The *fact* is that Gens Ace, Sky Lipo, and Turnigy batteries have been proven countless times to be solid values. They are not the highest-performing batteries available, but they are objectively on par with many packs that cost literally 2x to 3x as much. Ask around, browse around, search around, find the truth!

See y'all on the forums..

How long would a 7.2v 5000 mAh lipo last when bashing?

[modernsniper95]

is this thing waterproof?i wanna get a cheap, good, 2s lipo that is waterproof

I picked up two of these batteries for my Axial scx10 Honcho RTR , and I love them. They worked perfect with the supplied Axial electronics with no problems, and last forever. I did something terrible to most people though, cut off the deans and put on Losi EC3 connectors, their connections are better imo .

what is the differences in performance and run time between the C's of lipo packs? is higher better? what would be the best bang for your buck? i want to guess that 40c is the best all round pack, am i right?

Hey jang, by chance can you also review lipo chargers? I work at a hobby shop and I've seen pretty much everything, from Jerry rigged things to people spending more that they do on cars for a lipo balancer ($250, it was shiny). If you can help weed them or and see whats the most bang or your buck they would be great!
