I've been running 2 of the $69.99 6S lipos in my 12S Baja. So far it's running fine. Been through about 10 cycles on them. But HC batteries are hit or miss. Sometimes they don't last and sometimes they have bad cells. It's a crap shoot!
just recieved 2 2s4000's and 2 3s4000's for $100 bucks. cant say a word bad about them. this will now allow me to run, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12S configurations for anything i may need for the price of one locally bought G3 pack... do the maths :)

There is no denying that the packs from HC are cheaper than anything else. If they work for you that's great, you saved a lot of money. If there is a bad cell or it puffs after one run you haven't lost a lot of money, but it is lost cause there isn't much for support from them. Personally I have had very good luck with NeuEnergy packs. They may not be the best pack but they are a top level pack with a much lower price. They constantly have specials as they update their packs. From what I have seen there prices are about double what HC prices are for an equivalent pack but about 60-65% what a G3 pack would cost.
