Gens Ace - different packaging for domestic market
I just bought 4 Gens Ace 2600mAH 6S1P 25C Lipo from another online store (not hobbypartz) and they look like this:
however on the HobbyPartz site they look like this: should i be worried? anyone else have Gens Ace that look like the top image?

If you bought them from hobbypartz, then they are legit. Just new packaging. They should have the aluminium plates on top and bottom.

Weird... I'd have to guess/say its fake on, or copied.
The ones I see normally say "Gens ACE" on them. This was the closest pic I could find that looks kinda like that one: But thats a 1800 mAh. And that's a 2600 mAh. But who's know these days.

Can you give a link to the site where you bought these?
Also.. they don't say Gens do they? Just Ace?

Here is the link to the site. As you can see it says Gens Ace, and has the same picture as a normal Gens Ace.

Could it be that these are genuine Gens Ace, and uses a different packaging for different market? Maybe these are Gens Ace rebranded for RC711?

Why wouldn't you just buy from hobbypartz? You do realize they're like $12 cheaper from the legit site.

HobbyPartz is the US distributor, the OP bough the battery out of the country. When I was in Shanghai 3 weeks ago, I met with the Gens Ace company. They did have other batteries with other labels that were slightly different.
Companies do change the labels of products. |

Well... you can never know, unless you ask.

Interesting story for sure. So would someone help me out here? Is Hobbypartz the exclusive American importer and distributor for Gens Ace? Here in Canada, I can easily buy them by just walking into at least three LHS in my area and buying off the shelf.

Do these local shops sell the Gens Ace lipos at higher prices than Hobby Partz?

Actually I just checked on that. The prices are very competitive and there is no freight costs. I also found it interesting that at least one of our LHS lists a 3S 2200 40C Gens Ace that HobbyPartz does not list. On the other hand, I am glad to see that as of this evening HobbyPartz is listing the 3S 2200 55C lipo as being in stock. That is a rare bird.
