I'd say theyre pretty similar quality. And don't worry about exploding lipos, thats basically a myth, it only happens to idiots in youtube videos that stab them with screw drivers or hook them directly to car batteries or whatever. I treat my batteries like sh*t and the worst thats ever happened is the casing gets a little baggy and they loose their power and capacity, and that was after some shocking punishment.

edit: may as well add, if you are seriously worried about explosions, those cells probably won't be any different to polyquest or whatever - all you have to do is adhere to proper charging rules etc and they are all as safe as each other.

I haven't tried either brand cells, but cheap lipos like that are usually all similar quality chinese cells - most probably underrated in terms of current draw ability as well (though some people on the hc forums have posted decent looking graphs of the zippy lipos).

yes but packs add up fast... and my maxamps has gone through serious punishment so far... lots of flips and shocks and beatings with my stampede

I have 2 of the Zippy H 3S 20C 5000mah lipos. They are very good. I have over 70 cycles on them with zero problems. Just check the dimensions to make sure they fit your application.

might look into that then. cool

I would take the zippy lipos over the maxamps any day... just because I've used their HXT Lipo brands, and they perform beyond their specs...

as soon as they get some in ill order them

yea i was gonna get one of the swangs, until the 20$ shipping came up lol, no thatnk you

Zippy's rock....
