2.You get what you pay for, and $50 usd isnt very much I would buy a Hyperion model very trouble free and they have balance adapters for all the different types
3. I wouldnt do business with any chinese company, I dont like how they do business...they can rippoff ideas, patents from the legit compaines with no repercussions from their government

so you think that hyperion is u.s.a made??
funny.....

is like traxxas, losi and other brands with stickers on it saying made in taiwan!!
most factory´s of most popular companies are in asia or china as you prefer...
is there here production is cheaper!!
and brushless parts are the most common to be chinese made..
just take a deep search on net...
for my inttentions it will be enough, my question is about connectors beig or not diferent...

thank´s any way!!

There is a big difference between products that are offloaded for manufacture to other countries, and products that are reverse engineered and resold as thier own as AZJC was pointing out. Do a search for A123's on Ebay. There is one listing from a company in China that has been there forever. Do you really think they are selling actual A123's? I think not.

There is a used Hyperion for sale in the General Forum on here. Do yourself a favor, and get that one. You'll be much happier 5 years down the road.

You will have to purchase a balancer/connector(s) based on which brand of battery you end up buying.
