No doubt, you must make your own packs to get them at that price. I'm not all that fond of soldering, mostly because I've messed up so many electronics with my haphazard approach (if a little heat is good...more must be better!!)

So I've seen a recommendation for 5S2P, and 6S1P...if my math is correct, the HV has a limit of 16.8V, which means I should stick with the 5S, and I would likely want to run a 2P setup giving me 16.5V, 4600mah, right? But what about their limit of 4S for lipo - does that stand for A123's also?

Where is the best place to purchase premade packs? I seem to remember MaxAmps carrying them, but I'm sure there are places that sell them cheaper.
On edit....well those arent much cheaper....Maxamps has A123 5S1P for $145.....maybe I'd better look into making my own!
