The Turnigy's are better IMO.

They have noticeably more punch, run cooler and more mah are returned on the charger.

The Pack's I am comparing are Apples to Apples.

4S 20C 5000mah Zippy's
4S 20C 5000mah Turnigy's

My E Revo setup:
MMM ESC
Medusa 36-60-1500kv geared 22/40 using Mod 1 gears.

I had to upgrade the driveshafts to Traxxas CVD's, because it kept snapping the stock Drive Shafts. I run a tight slipper.

This is in an E Revo. Notice the gearing, this isn't a "light" amp draw setup.

I've seen discharge graphs on both the 20C/30C Turnigy's and the 30C/40C Turnigy's. I'm pretty sure they are the same cell.

Compare the weights and cell sizes.

I also run a set of 30C 5000mah Turnigy's and notice No Difference except the 30C packs come with 8Ga. Wire. Yeah, 8Ga.

The 20C packs come with 10Ga. Wire.

The Turnigy's will outperform SMC I'm sure.
