I have used the 25-50C 6000mah nanotechs and can also vouch for them. If there was a problem it would have been due to a bad cell and not the batteries ability to perform. For what its worth, its just not easy figuring out which batteries are good and which ones are not. One manufactures 100C is another manufacturer's 10C. Thats how far off base we are in todays world.

perfect example:

i have a pair of 30c 5000mah 3s neu-energy packs.
i also have a pair of turnigy (not the nano-tech) 25c 5000mah 3s packs.........the turnigies perform much better and even a normal bystander could tell the difference.

another scenario:

i have a of thunderpower 45c 2200mah 3s pack
i also have 2 turnigy (non-nano-tech) 40c 2200mah 3s packs

the 2200mah packs are all used in a high-amp plane and the turnigies provide longer flight times, faster RPMs and temp about 10F cooler than the tunderpower. all 3 batteries have equal use and equal treatment. also, the thunderpower is getting a little puffy while the turnigies are still solid.

the turnigies were substantially cheaper and they are rated lower, yet they are the superior packs. they always temp lower and they have noticeably more punch and lower voltage drop.

the nano-tech turnigy packs are rated even more conservatively than the non-nano-tech packs.

Turnigys are Great packs ...

i have done almost a year (about 120 cicles) using a Turnigy 3s 5000 mAh 20c on my MMM geared for 42mph! and the pack is rock solid!

They have come a long way in their battery technology. Some of the older flightmax packs were a bit overrated, but most of the new turnigy and nanotech packs are on par with whats out there. If you look at a 20C 5000mah pack vs one of the first 20C 5000mah flightmax packs you see a huge weight and size difference in the new packs.
