Just ordered a few to try. I have been happy with the zippy flightmax 3s packs so hopefully these will follow suite. Hard to beat the price that's for sure.

[eimbot]

i think they are gonna be the same quality as the zippy flightmax 2650 30c 6s packs.

Ive ordered 3 of them. they are sent from HK now

These look good but I was looking at the weight, they are over a hundred grams heavier than the 2700mAH Thunder Power Pro Power 30C.
I do realize that you can get 3 of these for the price of the Thunder Power, just thought I would mention this fact.

No they are not, the battery you mentioned weighs 435g, thats only 31g less than the turnigy?
where did you get 366g?

I ordered two packs hopefully they will perform better than my outrage 30c packs. My outrage packs have lasted 50 cycles. These batteries are so much cheaper and I can get two for the price of one Outrage. I am not buying brand lipos anymore Outrage was the final straw. (rippped off big time)

[legine]

they might perform better for the first few cycles, but when they get to the same amount of cycles as the outrage I dont think you should expect them to be as good, I mean they are half the price.

i had a cheap lipo smoke a kong lipo in how long it lasted. 2200 25c

I have a FP20c on my 600 i do have about 100 flight on and its always ran hot and it still flys well it just doesnt have that punch anymore.

best battery i have had in a long time has been my alighn 2600 6s on my 500 go figure lol

im ready to try these cheap lipos though after the kong

[chucky21022002]

Any feedback on how they fly yet? I am about to order these batteries. I could buy 4 for the price of two of my Outrage packs. Just having second thoughts. Thing is, one of my Outrage packs starting to loose power just after 16 cycles, lipo was never abused I fly it 6mins on my bird running 13T. Anyway, I contacted the supplier I bought it from and they said they will sort it out. Im just making sure Im making the right decision.

[dl5973]

true but i get two batteries for price of one outrage batteries. If i can get 30cyles on each its still better than one outrage

[dl5973]

by the way i have not had any brand name lipos last me 100 cycles. They usually go southwards fast after 50.

Just received my 7 packs. All perfectly balanced and no mechanical damage. Fits perfectly also. No tray mod required. CG also perfect for my 500esp with full size tail servo. Im gently breaking-in the lipos now with a 2min hover in normal mode for the first 5 cycles. It's agonising for now, I just want to hit idle up and let go, but my mates advised me to do proper run-in for longevity.



Think I will need a 2nd 6S charger to speed up the charging process.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just bought my second 6s charger and Im itching to buy some 6s packs, just can't decide yet which one.

I'm with ya there on that one mate, very pissed off with my outrage 3S and 6S packs, 30 cycles and already getting tired. The irony is that it an 'outrage' what they charge for these packs and the even more of an outrage at their cycle life

I got burnt with Kong Powers first, both had 30 cycles and then died. I don't thrash my packs and I always balance charge so it wasn't operator error.

It has taken Zippy packs and the like to make us realise that we have been getting ripped off for so long. No more so called "high end" brands for me.

[legine]

Hey Ken4 would you be able to weigh the packs and tell us if the 466g is accurate?
Nice, 7 packs should keep you occupied for a while

Thanks, Daniel

[Ken4]

Very accurate.

[J-S-Q]

Well I've got 2 of them on the way now so guess I'll found out how they are.

[[by the way i have not had any brand name lipos last me 100 cycles. They usually go southwards fast after 50.]]

if there going south at 50 your probably doing something very wrong.

all my buddies not a few get over 100 flights out of almost every pac. once in a while you will get a dud but its rare.

[tonyisenhoff]

Not to change the subject, but where did ya get the American flag canopy???

[Ken4]

From my LHS. It's a stock align painted canopy. Love it.
