My thoughts exactly. And the fact that they say- just look at the charts- The charts show everything- was kinda funny because upon looking back at the charts I saw the same thing I saw the first time I read the entire review- That the Turnigy- taking into consideration the details you took into account- are actually totally awesome and right up there with the best of the best- Yet at a very small fraction of the cost. I will say this- for the past year- Hobby King batteries- and Specifically the Turnigy Line of LiPo cells- has become extreemly popular at the tracks. People want what the Pros have, but most will buy what they can afford. And many racers are buying the Turnigy cells to practice with and club race with as well- and often will race the big series races with the more expensive batteries- but one might begin to ask themselves- Why not always run the $40.oo dollar LiPo rather than the 200.oo dollar LiPo. I'm at the point in time where I'm ready to buy my first Turnigy cells- just out of curiosity.

Also the turnigy had the second to lowest C rating and that coupled with the least amount of capacity will give it less voltage under load than the others.....DUH. BUT....the voltage was only like, what, a fifth of a volt less than the highest rated pack? And it was probably due to the fact of the capacity and C rating.
Regardless I will still buy cheap, the price difference between the turnigy and the others was HUGE! Now we just need to see a test of the Nano-Tech's
