Looks like about the same pricing as Hobbycity tho, shipping is just built in...

Question?

Yes shipping was included, no extra 30 dollars type thing like hobbycity.

It looks like shipping is built in to the price tho.

Example:
Turnigy is $58.50

Battman is $88.11

I see what your saying.

They raised their prices since I bought them... That kind of sucks, the 4s packs I got were 60 when I bought them, now they are 70.

My 6S was shipped today. I'll see how it compares to the G3 Hyperions. (if it doesn't arrive DOA)

vortex do you think the 30c will be enough for your 1520?

I hope so, I will be geared for about 40mph. I'll see how it performs.

I ripped the heat shrink off the 2 I bought, They are IDENTICAL to HC Packs. I reshrinked them w/HC 50mm heatshrink (thick stuff!) but have yet a chance to try them out. Hopefully the following weekend I can get to the track ?

Got it today, 8AWG sucks, I think the connector will desolder itself since I did a shitty job. Reading fine on all 6 cells, charging now. It says max. 1C on mine. Also fits perfect in the DesertboyXL Savage chassis.

That pack looks almost identeical to my turnigy 4s 40c 5000 mah pack. Some type of wire, shirnk wrap, balnced wires, and dimensions.

im very tempted by the battmann lipos but for a similar price i can get the turnigy 40c instead of 30c...

The only benefit is that battmann has them in stock...

also is there a way of testing the true c rating of these lipos???

Yes, but it aint cheap.

You can buy something called an EagleTree Data logger- it basically plugs in between the battery and esc, and measure the current ( amps ) and voltage that the motor & esc are drawing. With the PC software that comes with it ( or bought seperately, dont have one myself so not certain ) you can plot a graph of a run, and then by cross referencing the voltage droop of the batts vs the current being pulled at any one point, you can determine quite accurately the actual C rating ( just need to determine what voltage level droop you deem acceptable under load- 3.2v per cell generally is agreed as fine ).

They cost about $100, so for some people like racers or testers its a worth while investment, but for the occasional basher... might be a bit too much money to pay for something you wont use very often ( just as well my penis came as standard... ).

That and these packs sort of include shipping in the price so you may end up saving money.

As for another update, I would say I have to have at least 150 cycles on one of the packs I bought. I designated it my basher pack. Use it almost everyday. Still holding strong. I may be purchasing some of their 2s hardcases and get a review up if I do.

I have both and have seen them both naked, they practically twins.

It's ben almost 4 months since I've received my 4s 5000mah packs.

One pack shortly after receiving it I turned into a 3s pack because one cell crapped out.

Here as of recently the othe Pack took a big SHIZ, it had swollen to the point that I flat out disposed of it without trying to salvage any cell.
I only ran this pack maybe 20 times at the most.

I wouldn't buy another one !
