Need help with order for completing my truggy...Lipos ect.

I'll second the Neu's. Good quality for the price.

Do you have a charger yet? And how about radio system? Looks like you can pick up a used 2.4 system for just over 100 bucks. Don't skimp on the charger.

Well I have a DX3r from crawling that will be used on the 8ight, and the charger I have had for a couple years is the Hyperion eos6060i or something. I will be checking out the Neu's for sure, thanks for the heads up.

Okay I looked at whats available. I guess I should get like a 5500 5s and a 5500 6s. The 5s would be for track and 6s for bashing?? Or will these be too heavy? I just want decent runtime. Are these comparable to the 30c rated zippys or better? Sorry about all the questions. I will be a little over budget but the wife will live.

I dont think there was ever a doubt about her living - its your well being that we are trying to help!!

I would default to 5S, but I understand the desire for 6.....

So are the Neu lipos 25c rating good enough. I mean zippy's are 30+c or are zippys constant ratings "exaggerated" like the maxamps lipos. Ever since Maxamps I take constant ratings with a grain of salt,lol. I just heard with the weight of the truggy it can be hard on the esc and lipos if not rated high enough. I need schooling....if you say these are the way to go then I will get a few ordered. I am guessing I wont have to wait a month for delivery either like with the zippy brand lipos. Anxious to get more feedback so I can get this build finished up and crashing!! Thanks again.

The Zippy's have actually proven to be fairly good, and suprised quite a few of us.
The Neu's at 25C should be fine - Enerland cells I believe. They also have a version that you charge at 5C if your interested.

I'll be running Neu 5S in my 8T when I get it finished (it just showed up today). I'll be running a MMM/1515 2.5D in it. I'm not at all concerned about these cells keeping up.

What if I ran 2 of these in a series??

Way cheaper alternative and tell me if I am wrong but wont that make 5000mah 6s lipos...shoot I can make two 6s lipos for the price of one neu and they are in stock. I dunno just an idea. Then I will get a couple pairs of 2s for some 4s packs.

Tell me what you guys think. I could shrink them together and make some nice packs out of these.

2 of those in series will give you 6s 2500mah. You'll need 4 of them if you want 5000mah 6s.

Well that sucks..lol. I thought I was onto something last night, back to the drawing board.
