what hardcase lipo?

[Yrkoon]

hey guys im after a 2s hard case lipo about 4000-5000mah, and i don't want to spend more than forty quid so 30-40 quid is good.

 

i see quite a few on model sport but im unsure of the brands and what one is best etc.

 

please don't say go to hobbyking as they ****ed me over recently and i don't wanna open a can of worms

 

the battery would just be used in 10th scale models so no mad discharge rate required, so any opinions on what the better brands are for reliability that modelsport stock? going to be used in buggies and stadium trucks with motors ranging from 3000 kv up to 6000 kv.

My suggestion would be a Zippy hardcase from Ebay.  Obv more expensive than buying direct, if it has to be MS then i'd prob go for:

As they seem to be well regarded.

I've been using a Zippy 6000mah hardcase from Hobbyking for a few months now with good results.

Zippy 6000 or 6400s from hobbyking, good punch, last for a very long time

well ordered 2 of the turnigy 5000 mah 2s lipos from them and i ordered specifically from the uk warehouse and then they take it upon themselve's to ship them from hongkong, so when delivery guy comes im stung for an extra 20 odd quid, and then to top it off one of the lipos was faulty.

 

their live chat help was total bs lol

 

it was my first order with them and i prefer not to deal with them after that, their loss tbh i got a fleet of 20 odd ground models needing stuff and im just starting to use the models again, got helis planes and boats as well.

 

ill have a look at the suggested lipo brands, cheers guys

I bought one of the Nvision LiPos recently and have been quite impressed. Do seem to have more punch than the equivalent rating Turnigy.
