Are Zippy Lipos safe with a Castle MMM Speedy? - RC-Monster Forums

Batteries do not kill speed controll's... operator or manufacturer does.. I have been running a zippy with my 2200 combo for months with no problem...

That guy just doesnt know what he is looking at.

+1....i've been running zippy-h's for a couple months now with my MMM/Neu 1515 1/y/f and it started in my revo, then my 8ight-t, then my e-maxx, then my 8ight, and now i run both in my sc8 and rc8t.....i've recently picked up some of the flightmax 30c lipos and use then in my rc8t and so far the only complaint I have about them is the fact that they so sometimes take a while to get back into balance after being discharged up to the LVC...but thats why i own 2 balancer/voltage testers (from commonsense rc thankyou!)....zippy's have always been great bang for the buck and only once have the soldering jobs on packs been a little loose.... but thats only happened once in the 12 packs i've received.....I've ran each pack down until the LVC and they have each taken a little bit more than 5000mah each time....i say get some zippys...or the flightmax if you can wait...or Mike's lipos!

As discussed in the thread, a poor quality pack is a huge threat to the life of the esc and that is a fact. That is not to say that the Zippy pack was the cause. There was likely something else leading to the disaster. The fact that the car "seized" during a straight means something more serious. Whatever the cause, these "1 in 1000" scenarios are bound to pop up more often as more escs are sold.
