Zippy-R question

[Tempted]

I run the Zippy H 3s 5k packs and they outperform my MaxAmps 3s 5k and Venom 3s 5400s. The FPs are crazy expensive compared to the Zippys. So you can buy 3 packs for the price of one.

so what's the diff between the zippy r, the zippy-s and the zippy-h and which's better??

The difference is the C rating.

The green zippys are 15c

The blue zippy-H's are 20c (although the 5s 4000 mah packs can be 25-35c)

The white zippy-r's are 25c

The zippy-H's work great. They do have some durability/build quality issues, but nothing major. You might get a broken balance connection every now and then. But at less than half the cost of the name brand packs, the risk is worth it. The performance is top notch though in terms of punch. The only difference I can tell between the zippys and my expensive packs is that the zippys don't like being run down hard to the LVC (the sometimes go out of balance or one of the cells may not bounce back from below 3 volts). My zippys usually take in more than the rated MAH too.

I think the Zippy R's are old or overstocked Enerland cells (the cells used in the expensive packs).

There is going to be a huge drop in prices in the lipos over the next year. I just picked up two Neu Energy 5s 4350 packs for $125 bucks each from Neu. Supply is catching up with demand with more competitors in the market.
