SMC Lipo question?

Trouble with savage Flux guys is that they are mainly noobs who've just spent ~$600 on an RTR BL MT; no prior experience usually of how to care for these large scale, heavy MTs and 1/8 BL systems, and no realy knowledge of suitable lipos. I've seen the rather small SMCs recommended by HPI themselves since they fit nicely, and are a well known 'American' brand... its scary stuff.

If you went over to HongKong or South Korea maybe, Im sure you'd see the hobbycity lipos being promoted for use in all manner of RCs....

You watch your mouth when you talk about flux owners! lol, j/k. I will agree, lots of newbs who have too much money and no experience. Just like any other rc though I guess. It's easier said than done I guess, but go with batteries that will give you peace of mind. I have thought several times about ordering some turnigy lipo's, but my truck doesn't normally last long enough to make it one charge anyways lol. I run TP's and to be honest I have nothing to compare them too, however I know they are good packs from the research I did before buying them.
