RE: castle v3 amp maximum
Hobbyking all the way IMO. IMO the $20 lipos will outlast the $150-$200 lipo. There are many many thoughts on this, but from what I hear, the max amps (ever heard Max craps before?) will not last as long as the HK batts. And you can get almost 5 HK batts for the price of one max amps.
This is my opinion.
