Are Zippy Lipos safe with a Castle MMM Speedy?

[QUOTE=lincpimp;266433]Good advice...

Zippys are compareable to maxamps (performace, not price).

with all due respect i dont think that is an accurate statement. myself and many of my racing buddies have had maxamps packs and now zippy 4s 5000 h and r packs in our 1/8 scale racing buggys.
i can tell you that the zippy packs are much better at holding voltage under load and producing power. the guys i am speaking of have raced 1/8 buggys going on 3+ years in southeast michigan so we have a lot of time on them.
also many of these guys have the higher end enerland based packs as well and they say that those packs may stay in balance a little better if ran down close to dumping. but for twice as much money i guess they should.

Maybe not the best comparison I have made... I definately think zippy lipos are better than maxamps stuff... The chinese cells are getting much better. As far as cell design goes, the enerland cells are still better. The tabs bigger, twice the surface area, and at least 3 times as thick. Quality control is much better too. Zippy pack construction is iffy at times... The zippy r packs appear to be enerland cells, but I do not see them for sale anymore...
