Hex Tronic Batteries
Hey anybody have any expererince with hex tronic (HXT10003S HXT D9 1000mAh 11.1v 20-30C Lipo)
$18.00 for a 11.1 1000mah seems pretty cheap

RE: Hex Tronic Batteries
I've heard nothing but great things about all the Hextronicks packs. A 20C 2200ma 3 cell lipo for $32 is an outstanding price and other sizes can also be had cheap on United Hobbies website. Check them out for $15 dual conversion RCx, cheap servos, etc as well. I know people that have over-amped the above pack and the battery never complained. Yesterday a friend was flying a Zagi with a Thunder Power pack. It was faster...like 100 to 110 mph or so. He then switched over to a friend's Hextronicks pack and the thing got even faster. He remarked about it why flying. I think both packs were of the same above pack specks but don't know much more. Maybe the Thunder Power was older or something. The TP packs are slightly smaller/lighter but then again they cost about three times the price.

They are good packs and will hold up. As a matter of fact I have a order on the way from UH right now.
Theres alot of guys using them these days it seems. If I'm not wrong I believe rvincent(the little screamers motor guy) uses these lipos alot.
And theres alot of good things said about them.

RE: Hex Tronic Batteries
Hi there,
I have used their 1700mAh packs for a little while, and in my humble opinion:
Pros:
Price --------------------- No argument, they are cheap
Cons:
Weight ------------------ They are very HEAVY...
Performance ----------- It seems as they cannot deliver the stated rating, never see that discrepancy with for example Thunder Power
Support/Service ------- Took me 3.5 months and numerous communications to get a problem fixed
Unanswered:
Life time expectancy -- Future will tell
Well, I guess you get what you pay for... as always...
For me the choice is clear - I will not buy any more from them, I prefer to support the local shops
Just a thought
