Are Zippy Lipos safe with a Castle MMM Speedy?

The answer is to not expect the performance of a higher end pack out of the low priced pack you can afford. If you can't afford the "Ferrari" then you can't afford it, but you can't buy a "Chevy" and complain that it isn't a "Ferrari", either.
It isn't the low end packs in and of themselves - it is the low end packs being used like high end packs that are the issue. If you want to see the 60mph speed on the box of the ERevo, you need to have Ferrari packs to do it reliably. If you have the Chevy packs, then don't try to reach Ferrari speeds and you should be fine.

Would be BUT, there are a couple of Chevy products that will run with a Ferrari. The Z06 Corvette and the ZR1 Corvette. There's always a fly that will land in the ointment.

Or, run two such Chevys in parallel to achieve the Ferrari capabilities

Nah, not even close... Nothing like a ferrari... Not that I really like them that much, but they are fun to drive. Like comparing a 4 cyl sportbike to a built buell. Anything that can turn high rpms and pull stupid speed is in a league of its own..

Ummmm..........I don't understand!

The Chevy packs would be the best ones.

Now if you had said "Ford Packs", I could understand the lower quality.
