Which 3S Lipo? - RC-Monster Forums

I had a look at the Zippys, but, at the risk of sounding like a snob, I like Lipos with a strong brand behind them.

Those SMCs look good. I actually had a look on their website but nothing like that came up. Maybe a tad heavier than I really wanted (<800g is better), but I'm happy to compromise here. Nice find, and they're cheaper than the Thunder Powers.

I did a google search on the SMCs and found an RC-Tech thread where the SMC rep person said that he charges all SMC lipos at 2C - so no worries there (hopefully).

Any others to throw into the equation?

No offense taken,I'd just thought I mention them ?
I thought zippys were a joke also until I seen friends have fantastic success with them and read where many people were also content. I've bought 8 different packs and couldn't be happier. I hope you find what your looking for.

I run my 1/8 buggy on a 3S Thunder Power 40C 5000mah... I get plenty of run time for what I do, and the battery stays pretty cool...

I didn't even know those where available yet. Where did you buy it from?

Also I have 2 NEU 3s 30c lipos and I love them. Mega power! All the way until the end of the run...

Have you considered one of the newer "gen. 3" lipo packs? ex. Hyperion G3 packs, Flightpower EON X30's...

The hyperions are quite good prices over last gen. lipo packs. I bought 2 3s 4200mah 35C packs for $100 each, or you can get 3s 5000mah 25C for same price, new gen as well.

I got mine at RC Madness in Enfield CT... I think Amain Hobbies has them as well. Nice pack..
