Power Unlimited LiPo Reviews?
I like these packs for the price and low weight and am thinking about getting a set of the 5400mAh 5S packs. What's the general consensus on this brand? Care to recommend any others that are, ehem, more economical than <insert major brand name here>
Also, I new to pattern in the 21st century (use to fly it for a few seasons in the mid-90's). I have been focusing on 10S packs but looking through the Vanquish 2M build thread here, and a few others, I noted that some of you are using 5/6/8 cell packs combos as well. Doing the math, while doable, I figured this would drive current way up and hence reduce duration. Anyone care to help me understand this?
PS - I am prepping a 2M Vanquish I bought (really stole for $200) from a fellow club member.

Go with the 10S in the Vanquish. For a given power, higher voltage means lower current. But you need the right motor to match the 10S.

Pappy35,
They are really good packs. I've use them from 800 Mah up to my 5100's and they are a few years old now and the internal resistance is still around 2.0 Ohm's per cell. I fly FAI/F3A, so they get pulled on pretty good. I am looking forward to using the 5400-6000's in my old Nuance. I know a few guys using the 6000's in contra set ups and making weight with no issues.

I can neither confirm nor deny this allegation. 
Yeah. I'm a member there but the house we bought last February burned up all my spare time and I'm just now getting to the point that I can start getting the Vanquish set-up. Hoping to have a lot more time to fly this year.
