Default What performance saddles?

Been a while since I posted in here, I'm after some decent saddles that are at least 40c for my Durango, not sure which to go for as there are never any reviews and prices vary, seen losi xceliorin 60c Orion carbon 45c I want something with plenty of grunt that will hold it's power and give the best performance out there £££ ain't to much of a problem and I don't want intellects or anything, must also be brca legal.

Thanks in advance

The Orion cells are excellent and very well priced too.

I run the Orion Carbon 45c ones and get on well with them

Competitively priced too and they look nice with the CF effect hehe

The Reedy 60c look tempting and I think there are some 90c Orions on the BRCA list....mega power

Don't overlook the Intellects though....great performance for the money.

Must say I'm looking towards Orion carbon 45c lipos
The 90c just aren't needed tbh,

Can't see anyone using losi xcelorin 60c they look decent.

Vampire 60C ones are ace. Had to have a bit of a rethink on what motors to use though as they do put out quite a bit af juice.

Didn't I read on here that Vampires are the same as Intellect? They're certainly very close on dimensions and weight on the BRCA list. I use Intellects and they're fine, I've got Vampire's too, but they're in stick pack and they're just as good.

5400mah 60c no good?

I see it that unless you're limited to a certain turn motor for your particular club then it doesn't matter much what you get C wise (within reason) as you can just use whatever turn motor you want to get the speed you require.

You wont be dis-apointed with the Vampires, not only are this years versions 5400mah and 60C which is pretty high in performance compared to what else is out there, they are "still" some of the best value LIPO's available in the UK today, not juts one or the other.

+1 on the vampires. Very reasonable pricing and massive power, glad I bought them.

not bothered about price, just after some raw power wether its £50 or £150 a set

orion 90c look good, but heard alot of good things of the 45c carbons.

was looking at smc in the usa which is 60c but turns out its exactly the same as the losi excelorin 60c they have entered on the brac list

heard nothing but good things at the local clubs, and have no need for 90c lipos nobody does!!!

plus they look sexy as hell!
