Well i'm going to give this one a go http://hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store..._30C_Lipo_Pack

What are your thoughts?

you can get the 20c pack for 49.99 there a steal. and 20c is more then enough

No, 20c is too low methinks. Castle recommends at least 25c and over.

psht! unless your geared for 50+ 20c is just fine. the whole voltage ripple thing isnt a solid excuse imo. im geared for 44 mph and my 20c batteries come off @ 90 degrees after hard racing

I assume that's 90F.

90C is waaaaayyyy too high.

Where are you located Mystro? What state?

I have been running 5S Zippy packs for ages & had no issues, apart from the usual MM related issues in the beginning which we all had. Since then, no probs at all with ESC, but, I have killed 3 of my 5 packs.



I've gone back to 2 x 2s 5000mAh 40C packs to make a 4S. Works awesomely!!

Can you say wheelies on command with a truggy? :lol:

I'm in Australia, Tasmania.

I would rather spend the extra money to get the extra 10c just to be safe anyway. I'm also following castles advise which cant hurt.

Ahhhh, ok.

I'm in Melb & work 2 days a week for my mate at RCGarage, hence the reason for the D8T.

Keep up the good work. BL truggy & buggy has just been sanctioned in Aust for the titles. Not that I'm going to race anymore, but, you never know.

its your option, i wouldnt be suprised if they are the same packs with different stickers! lol

I wish i lived up the top end of tassie, then i could race with the NWRCCC boys.

Big greg: Its better to be safe than sorry. What RCs do you run?

losi 8 buggy. MMM tekin 2250 truggy motor 4-5s
losi 8t 2.0 MMM tekin 1550 5s sometimes 4s

running all zippy batteries besides 2, i have 2 5s 5000 turnigy 20c, 2 4s 5000 turnigy 20c, 1 flightmax 5s 5000 20c, 1 4s 4800 zippy-r 25c, 1 4s 4900 rhino 20c, 4s 6000 polyquest 25c, and a 5s 4500 flightpower 30c. wow thats alot of lipos! but anyway the zippies outperform my 2 expensive packs! crazy i know

How do you like the turnigys?

love em. the best packs i have, i will only buy those from now on. For only 10 bucks a cell, its insane! i might be picking up a 6s 5000 20c soon. for 60$ its almost just worth buying it for the heck of it!

Well i have just brought a 5s 5000mah 30c Turnigy and a 300x100mm 2.5mm thick sheet of carbon fiber to make a battery tray with. Still debating designs.

You can look here at my project. Last battery tray is best one, it can stand enought forces and it has rubber sheets to protect and keep battery from moving and lexan on side to protect battery from stones.

Thanks mate :)
