If you have a charger capable, then yeah, high charge rates for quicker turn around times are becoming the norm with the latest gen of lipos. Im a 1C guy myself, gotta love 50watt chargers... :intello:

Not a huge fan of the Zippy cells. They perform well enough but they never balance out as well as my Turnigy packs. With the Turnigy packs my charger spends minimal amount of time finishing off the balancing at the end but with the Zippy packs it can sometimes take more than half hour @ 0.2A towards the end trying to get all the cells level.

I just got a few Turnigy 4S 5K 40C packs for my RC8Be and my Rail. Freakin awesome. Incredible punch straight out of the box. Can't wait to get a few cycles on them. Plan to get the 5S 5k 30C next.

Big,

I have a 4 Turnigy batteries to my credit. I like them well enough to buy more. I am really interested in the Nano packs, but if there is a better product out there that is comparable in pricing...I would much rather go that route. I know Hyperion batteries are the market tops but those batteries are out of my price range for bashing and street running.

I ran a 5000 40C 2s in a vxl 4x4 stampede, seemed to do real nice, also ran a 25C 5000 3s, and performed flawlessly. I wish they'd come with deans plugs. Great for the price, they seem really small compared to my other packs, but slightly longer, had to shove em down a little to get them to fit.
