NeuEnergy Lipos any good? - 10.23.2008, 09:32 PM

I'm thinking of buying a number of NeuEnergy lipos. How have they been standing up to the other top lipos out there? I did some searches on RCM and did not find much info.

The NueEnergy lipos are excellent, I have two myself and they work great. You can also get some really good deals on their 25c lipos site on their web store right now.

I noticed the deals they have including the 2S hardcase car packs. I need some soft pack 3S & 4S, but I'm also thinking of picking up some new car packs on sale.

Anyone know why they are on sale? Not a quality issue?

Not sure why, but they're all enerland cells. Can't be a quality issue with the top cells out there.

I only got to run my new NeuEnergy 3s 4900mah packs once before my Monster died a silent death but they where incredible and stayed cool! I will no longer buy MA 1/10+ size lipos (I'm still very happy with my 1/18 scale pack, their CS is decent and with my membership the prices on everything else are decent too). I have purchased a hardcarse 2s also and I'm waiting for it to arrive, as well as some replacement parts for my crt.5, once I get all that I will put that pack through some extensive testing. I had tried a speed run with my MA pack using slash tires and a 19t pinion with the Medusa 4800 and the pack couldn't provide the power, geared down to 15t pinion it's actually twice as fast.

Anyways I just think that this is a sale! I purchased mine because I knew they where Enerland cells and these are rock bottom prices! I saved over $120 on my 2 3s packs versus anything else!

I'll second or third the quality of the neu 4s 5k packs.. but I have to say the Elite 35c 5000mah lipo's are WAY better than the enerland cells out there.. what a difference, I'm tempted to sell off all other brand lipo's and switch over to be honest. AWESOME! and a better price than the Neu's or Enerland as well.

How do you think they are better? What type of cells are they?

I called Neu today to find out where an order I placed was at and while I had them on the phone I asked the person I was talking to why they were on sale. She didn't know specifics, just that they were clearing out stock because they are going to be getting "new" lipos. Not sure what that means, but I say grab em while you can. Good packs cheap! I picked up a few.

I'm wondering if that means... a new shipment of the same lipos or totally different packs? I guess well find out before too long she said stocks were running out quickly.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I havent tried them, but they have some funky dimensions. Not sure they would fit in anything I have. 130mm is short and they are very thick cells. A 5s pack is 55+mm tall! But if they can deliver the current they advertize they should be some great packs.

I'm curiuos what you like about them also. Do you by any chance have any eagle tree data on them?

i bought one of the $60 hard case nue earlier today, its too good a deal to pass up.

my guess would be they are doing the sale to make room for the new 5100 25c cell packs and the 5000 30c cell packs, because enerland themselves are selling these now and so itd only mkae since for the people that use their cells to update also.

curious what site are you guys using w/ such good Neu deals?

PS No eagle tree.. ive just run the packs and it's like a lipo on steriods.. it's just faster all the time. both packs are brand new the neu 4s 5k and the Elite, it's so noticable I'm almost mad I spent the money on the Neu.. btw they are pretty much exactly the same size as each other.. few oz heavier Elite.. If the price were right I'd still buy some Neu's as they are very good... but if there isn't much cost difference, I'd take the elite 35c every time.

Right on Neus own website (www.neumotors.com) just click on the webstore link and then click on the 25C batteries link. I got a 5s 5500mah pack for $158 :):)

Those are all funky long batt's, nothing except the 2s 5k packs fit most battery trays :( Too bad.... those are nice prices.

Both the 30C 5000's and 25C 4900's will drop right into a standard RCM battery tray. They're almost the same dimensions as the FP 4S 5000 pack. I don't see how that makes them "funky long".

That's great if you have a rcm tray.. but if you have a tekno v3 tray or any other standard 6cell nimh tray your not in as good of shape... and those sizes are funky since you can only fit max of 150mm ;)
