This is out of about 8 packs between us. The zippy are for sure great bang for the buck, but with the lower cost comes a lower lever of quality. I expect that they will have a few issues here and there, and in all honesty they haven had any more issues than I have seen with more expensive packs failure wise, but I do think there is room for improvement from an assembly standpoint.
But then again.... Its half the price of the "other" lipos so what do you expect. I'm satisfied with the dollar to performance of them.

So it is probably worth getting them, taking off the shrink and checking all of the connections. I would then wrap them tightly in clear tape to counter cell shifting and then resolder all of the mian leads and balance wires. As cheap as they are I would be happy to get them as loose cells that were matched and just put them together myself...
