TheDriver Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Where do people purchase their Lipo. Hobbyking seem to be low on LIpo at the moment, Turnigy and Zippy. Theres Floureons on ebay but Im not sure on the quality ? I also see a lot of these HRB lipo on ebay but Ive no idea of the quality of those either. Any tips....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I've never had a problem with floureons and know others who use them, but have with turnigy nano techs. All brands will have issues now and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I know allot of people who use HRBs and they seem pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BashingBrian Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I have used all of the ones you mention above, don't think yo can go wrong with any of them really...?? Some of them are better than the others though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I used to always use whatever Hobbyking had in stock, Turnigy/Zippy or Floureon. However as you say Lipo's seem to be getting harder to get, so I now do this: If im in a rush, I buy HRB's from Amazon Prime and they're usually here within 15 hours IF Im not In a rush, I buy cheap ZOP's from BangGood, but usually end up waiting around a month, but theyre very cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollykamakazi Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Bit of a gamble tbh. I have floreon which work but one has bent like a banana. Had a new tornegy drop a sell after 1 week. Brand names or not it seems it’s a LOTTO. Bash, Break, Build, Repeat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartmoorTrails Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Overlander from modelsport only. Quick delivery and if there's an issue they've always credited the transaction ( only happened once mind!).Lioos are not to be skimped on in my opinion. I've got 3 year old overlander 3s and they're as good now as the day they arrived [emoji106]Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a pair a while back and didn't rate them versus comparably priced Gens Ace or nanotechs. Gens Ace have gone up in price though and I've had couple of misses with those too.

Not tried nano so can't comment but I've got 8 overlanders which have not let me down.Latest are 2x 3s 2200 which seem as good as the larger 4000 I've had for years.One of those things that once you've trusted a brand you'll probably stick!

Kukynas Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 any experience with Overlander Supersport Pro? need to source 5S 5000+mah (<140mm length) with at least 35C and the only suitable battery is either from HRB (all china based suppliers) or Overlander, there are few other suppliers I found but all based in US so same problem like with HRB, Hobbyking Turnigy are too big, possibly any other brand comes to mind? thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kukynas Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks mond for your tip unfortunatelly either small capacity or too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 5S is very limited in choice these days. Have you considered modifying whatever it is you're putting the batteries in to be more accomodating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kukynas Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I know it is limited hence my search, I don’t wanna stress my ESC and motor with 6S even if I know it would handle it just fine + 6S won’t be any smaller so that’s why 5S, it’s for my SSTE, battery tray is limited in lenght, don’t wanna cut it to loose the overall frame and would like to get little bit of speed without loosing punch by changing gear ratio, side effect should be slightly less amps draw so longer run, some kind of compromise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
