I already said in another post that as a rule, Castle Creations does not comment on the performance, usability, fitness of purpose, etc. for other brands.

Besides, I don't have any "Zippy" batteries to test with. I haven't tested "Zippy" batteries. So I don't have any idea whether "Zippy" batteries are fit for the purpose of setups on the MMM. I would also imagine it would matter (A LOT!) what kind of setup you ran (pinion, overall gear ratio, etc.) that you ran (as it is with ALL batteries...)

My suggestion -- run the smallest pinion that gives you the performance you are looking for. And don't try to push anything too hard. At the power levels the MMM runs at, bad things will happen very quickly...
