Zippy lipo's how are they ?

I don't think you'll have problems with the life of the cells, I have used mine for a while and they are still like day one. As long as you care for them(blanacing, charging right, correct storage ect..)they will treat you well. They are soft cells though so you want to be careful as i've blown a soft pack with a rock getting lodged in it(in my rustler).

As far as making a new section I don't think its really needed as most of us know about the lipos and how they work(some of us more than others) but the new commer will most likely post a thread and we can answer whatever question they have there. Thats just me though so some other people may have other opinions.

ok,
I just thought it would be a nice sticky for reviews on lipo's, but perhaps it would not work with all the new lipos and they will evolve so it then becomes impossible to keep accurate info.

thanks all
Now if I could only order one, (they are all backorderd) and Turnigy is only 25c

let me let you all in on a little secret

xps lipo's is the new kid on the block and getting rave reviews
do a search and you will find a thread at rcuniverse where many have used them and claim there as good or better than enerlands

I just bought 4 2s 5000mah 30c-50c to run 4s in my boats.... bats where $60 each

sweet thanks bustitup
that is a secret. I think a lot of people are buying cheap. just took a look there's a few Out of Stock, I'll have to keep an eye out.
just the C rating I was wanting.
reviews look great just like zippy, but there still new (under 40 cycles)

IS it me or does anyone else see a trend with cheap batteries not staying in the market long and then somethin else comes out ?

seems like Flight Power is still hanging though

Hope you guys are not charging these cheap things in your house or not watching them

I charge mine right on the kitchen counter top and walk away till I hear beeping.
