zippy lipo
 
hey,

i have been looking at getting a 6 cell lipo for my revo. i found this one on hobbycity online. its a zippy lipo pack. 6cell 4000mah 25c.

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=6415

just wondering if it would be a good battery pack to get. i was reading some of the reviews on the other zippy packs and people do like them. one guy even ran it in his vxl and he said it was great.

it would be 150$ shipped to me.

should i get it lol????

BrushlessBoy has a 5s of the exact same cells and loves it. You should pm him.

I did order few lipo at hobbycity
, the guy @ hobbycity does have a odd reputation, hate it or love it.
But he really does have some very good lipo at unmatchable price.

some picture of Zippy K 4300, based on made in korea cells ... fit perfactly RC10T4 tray, I will do a hardcase with a sheet of polyethylene + HD foam

actually all of the Zippys cells are chinese except fro the "R" cells, they are the korean cells

Mister-T 07.08.2008 12:32 PM

Ok my bad, Confusion between R and K

Revracer 07.08.2008 12:38 PM

How do you like the K cells? I was looking into buying 2 of those to run my buggy and run 4s in a stampede and revo. Would they do good in those? Will it fit where a 6 cell nimh can?

azjc 07.08.2008 12:52 PM

I have just ordered this pack, I have yet to run it yet though I am hoping it will come close to my FP packs

Oh and another question is will these fit in my Tamiya TL-01 chassis? It has round edges on the battery slot... I know Orion/peak carbon 3200 packs and all yeah racing packs fit but they have rounded edges...

I have there 5s 4000mah, held over 4300 on first charge, holds voltage welll and im getting about 45mins of runtime on my Raze

Revracer 07.08.2008 01:47 PM

Worth $80 to get twins? Will do well in a revo as 4s?

brushlessboy16 07.08.2008 02:02 PM

it will do very well!


depending on your esc 6s would be better

mtbnjim 07.08.2008 03:23 PM

is it better to Parallel two 6s lipos or to Series two 3s Lipos...assuming you have equal Mah and weight- which is better for performance and/or life of battery over time?

Revracer 07.08.2008 04:58 PM

Well I am running a MM so I don't want to use more than 4s...

Assuming the discharge rate on both setups are exactly the same, two 3s in series would be better because there are less cells which means less chance you get a dodgy cell, also less connections = less resistance and it would be harder to keep the 12 cells in balance as opposed to the 6 cells.

drkros3 07.09.2008 11:59 AM

so should i buy one big 6 cell lipo or 2 3 cell lipos? cause im going to be ordering the zippy lipos packs next week.
