A lot of people like the Elites but a lot of people like the IBs too. I have (and had) a 6 cell of each and from my experience the IBs have a little more punch with no noticable difference in runtimes. This was running a Monster Termination Wild in a mini T. I dont know anything about the GPs.

I lost (or was robbed off) my Elites a while ago and the IBs are getting tired, and I also bought a mamba 6800 combo. Recently I decided to try lipo and bought a TP 1350 2s lipo, now I will never go back. Lipo is like an extra $5 a pack but the extra weight savings, voltage, and capacity really make a difference.

I also will say lipo is the best,
but when practicing I use ib1400s.
Its mostly ib1400s or gp1300/1100 when choosing 2/3a cells,
and I tend to find a huge difference in matched cells.

Welcome to the forums, I'm going to get the Elite 1500 cells because on other fours I've seen numbers hat show that they are batter then IB 1400. I don't know about GP 1300 but I'm going for longer runtimes and I'm willing to give up a little power for them.
