Orion LIPO any good?
Anybody have experience with Team Orion Carbon Edition 3200mah LiPo batteries?
How good are they?

They are a bit overpriced, the same cells are $50. elsewhere. Just like their 4800mAH cells are overpriced.
for example:

where did you see the same cells elsewhere for 50$ im interested?
truthfully after the discount the price is not bad plus you dont need to buy a LIPO balancer with those.

Thanks for the tip Takedown, $99 for 6000mah looks really good.
Have you tried these?

I mean cells with the same (or better) capabilities like the maxamps ones. You're essentially paying $30. to $35. extra for a plastic case.
And unless it has some kind of balancer built in, you should always balance the cells periodically, if you want them to last as long as possible.
