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.
that is just wrong ... i run highend and hobbyking lipo's is" zippy - flightmax the HK battery's are good but no where near a highend lipo ... i have thunderpwer 5200Mah 4s 50/100c lipo's with over 3000 cycles on them and they still run great .. the HK battery's usually don't make 500 cycles
