I have not used that exact battery, but I have run my buggy on a lightmax 4000mah 3s 25c and I am very pleases with the performance. They arrived perfectly balanced, I ordered four various sizes to try them out, I was very pleased with them so I just ordered two more.

I just ordered a couple of these yesterday. I assume it's the same. They get great reviews, so I'm excited to check them out in the Blitz and Slash.

I posted the same question about the same batteries a couple days ago in the batteries forum and have gotten no replies. Nobody has used the Blue Lipo brand yet it seems.

I have the 5000mah 25c blue lipo, 3 runs total on them and they work great so far. I like the 4000mah red case zippy better because of fit but these give great runs times and came balanced perfect. plus 5.00 shipping

RE: Has anyone uses this battery?
Im going to buy couple more 3s zippy/flightmax when i order my Slash 4x4. They are great batteries for the price. Im using a $10 Flightmax 3s 1800mah tiny lipo for my Futaba 3PM radio and they last forever.
I also have the 2s 5000mah Flightmax and they give you long runtime and power!
I was using a Rhino/zippy 3s on my Slash(sold) and the truck wheelies on demand easily!

RE: Has anyone uses this battery?
Hey guys-i ordered a skycharger b6ac lipo charger along w/ a BLUE LIPO 3s 5000mah 30c battery from hobbypartz like 2 weeks ago. the batt cost $45 and the charger cost $60-as im typing this, hobbypartz is out of stock but should have more in 1-3 weeks according to their site. for 45 i figured id try that battery and im very impressed-so i will order 1-2 more for my slash 4x4-its kind of a tight fit in the slash battery tray but it fits w/o any mods or cutting. ill get about 25 min of run time w/ 5000mah battery with multiple top speed blasts on stock gearing. im very impressed w/ hobbypartz plus only 4.95 shipping charge. the charger is also a great buy but only charges up to 5amps and its ac/dc. so what im trying to say is that it was the best 110 bucks ive ever spent for batterys/chargers. I will be ordering a ezrun 60a/5.5t 6000kv combo plus 1-2 more 3s 5000mah blue lipos(cant decide on 20c,25c or go w/ the 30c again) for my 2wd slash b/c after going BL/Lipo i dont think i can ever run the xl-5 again-lol.so i will be dropping another $200 or so on hobbypartz products like i said IM VERY IMPRESSED. I hope this review helps anyone that was considering these products. plus the shipping was quick-like 5-6 days after i ordered. there in cali-i live in pa. the packing was very good. for $45 u cant beat the price vs. performance that u get. i will be posting vids on youtube in the coming weeks under guys2nv running the slash 4x4 w/ the blue lipo's. Peace everyone and keep bashing, racing, tinkering w/ your r/c's to keep r hobby going strong. P.S-just b/c u run diff brands and types of r/c's, we are all in this together and we are one big family. PEACE

Well I got my battery in the mail yesterday soldered up my traxxas plug checked the charge which was good , I topped it off . The battery performs awesome and has a boat load of power . For the price and being local to me I will be getting another . Shipping was one day . The only down side I can see is the wires coming out if the side if the case instead of the top like the zippys, so I had to modify the battery area on my slash and rusty. Overall I give it a ten.

Received two of the 4000 2S 25C Blue lipos today. Both batteries required balancing and you will have to clearance the battery tray for the wires. Not a huge issue. Performance to come once I learn how to charge them.

RE: Has anyone uses this battery?
OK, here we go. I put the 25C/4000 in the Slash and instant wheelie and tires double in size. Turning on concrete with any kind of power is not recommended. Installed another one in the Blitz. Same result, wheelies on demand. The Blitz has more of an open axle, so its a little squirrely off the line. The Blitz has expo in the throttle curve, so it's easier to correct than the Slash.
I give them a two thumbs up. Run times to come later.
