Turnigy and hobbyking - 03.12.2010, 03:45 PM

Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase a new lipo.

people say turnigy is very good value for money, so i've narrowed it down to these 2:

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=10095

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=10308

My question is, why is the 35C lipo more expensive than the 40C lipo?
It just doesn't make sense.


Cheers for any advice guys!

Not sure. I was looking into this same thing. I ended up getting 4- 3s 5000 35C.

I do know they are very well built and tough packs. They supply great power and dont break a sweat!

i was going to order 3-4 of those (40c) packs, until i heard the turnigy 6s packs have a tendency to puff easily... not sure how true, but now i'm accumulating flightpower and thunder power 6s packs. i just don't want to take a chance.

I've seen a few reports of bad 5s turnigy packs, but the flightmax packs fair better it seems. As for the price difference... weird, but the 35c pack does seem to be slightly larger than the 40c pack going by the listed dimensions. I'd go with the flightmax of the same spec ( 35-40c, its all gravy ).
