RE: turnigy batteries?
Great batteries IMO for the cash
I have 5 different packs, and not had issues(2X 2s 30c 5200mah hardcases, 2X 3S 2200's, and 1X 2S 3600).
I use the 5200s in most my RC's and have had no issues with them.

I used to make fun of the guys running Turnigys thinking their homes would catch fire. I now have a whole boat load of these things. That's how good they are.

Funny thing is only complaints I really read are from people who never actually used them. They base their complaints on the price tag, that they are made in china, say they suck, and are inferior to max amps due to those reasons without ever using, touching, or even seeing one in person.

Turnigys working great for me, crap loads better then my SMC packs from last year. Had one set of 5000mah 2s lipos with a puffed cell but my 2s hardcase and 3s nanontechs are awesome

I have about 10 total Turnigy pack from 2S 1600mAh to 4S 5000mAh and everything in between. One dead cell in 2 years and that may have been operator error since I wasn't running an LVC at the time.

All the packs I have from Hobby King work great... even the one that's 2+ years old with many hundreds of cycles. Great value, can't beat them.

RE: turnigy batteries?
Never been impressed by orion packs.
But I thought I saw you write somewhere that "lipos are the same, doesn't matter where you buy them, everybody uses the same cells"?
But like I alluded, anybody that has "several hundred" cycles on a pack would be a basher, and bashers generally wouldn't know the difference one way or another.

As a basher, I'd guess you wouldn't know the difference anyway. [img][/img]

Clearly - running in the E-main (LOL), against only 4 other competitors, shows you don't either. [img][/img]

P.S. "E" stands for "Electric" ... as in brushless powered 8th scales....
