What brushless motor, esc, and lipo's do i order?

just a little heads up if you want to save some money on lipos...

those thunder power batteries that were recomended will cost you about $180 each plus shipping


you can buy some new zippys that have awesome reviews that claim they are underated......you can buy two of these for $139 shipped

I won't deny I have been very pleased with the TP packs, but I keep hearing great things about these zippy's. For the price I may have to try a set of either those or these:

I have read in a thread about the differences between the Zippy-H and the Zippy-R, but I can't remember which people said were the newer stronger ones - for $120-$140 for two packs that is almost too good to believe if they are that good.

you have to be carefull on size of lipo's....those r's you linc to are to loong for a erevo by 10mm

I don't know if I agree with that statement. e-mike is saying he is using them in his e-revo in this thread: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...hlight=zippy-r

The TP packs at 160mm still have some room front to back. I actually had to move in the spacer to make sure they were snug.

well then I stand corrected......I was going by the fact that the erevo bays measure 160mm and the batts claim to be 170mm long thats a 3/8" differance


sorry for the misinformation
