I ordered three of
these on Friday the 5th and received them Friday the 12th. I paid 60 dollars a pack. They shipped from China via fedex for free.
I finally got to testing these suckers out today and I am all but too happy with their performance.
To start, I checked their initial voltage on all three and all three were balanced and in good condition. I examined the packs, nice shrink wrap and even plastic on the corners unlike some Zippy's with the exposed cells.
Second, I liked that they are rated at a 2c charge rate, so I placed them in my charger and balanced them at 10 amps. Roughly took 2800 or so on the first charge, which was in about 20 minutes.
I hooked it up to my converted raze (XERun 150a and Kershaw 2075) and walked down to my usual bashing area. I bashed the car hard and held full throttle many times through some of the longer straighter areas. I tested the full throttle from stand point and everything. I got roughly 40 minutes out of the battery before reaching lvc. Motor and ESC were both a bit hot after, I have her geared a bit high, but the pack was moderately warm like most of my lipos get, pack stayed mostly balanced throughout the complete discharge, I think cell four was a bit higher than the rest.
After an hour cool I recharged to full capacity and the pack took just shy of 5000mah and charged in about 35 minutes at 10 amps.
Pros:
Great punch
2c charge rate
come with 5.5 mm plugs
nicely shrink wrapped including both front and back ends
free shipping at hobbycity prices
Cons:
8 gauge wire, sucks for those who haven't/don't run 5.5 mm plugs.
Funny name on pack
Worth the investment:
Hell yes.
