Default where to get good lipos without breaking the bank

hey guys,

just thought i'd ask to see where those of you who get ur lipos online get them from? i need two 2s hopefully 4000mah with a 25C+ rating... any suggestions would be great... i looked at cheapbatterypacks.com and i think that they are exactly as the site is called... cheap haha and i've been told not to get maxxamps?

thanks
-Jim

www.rclipos.com I've used them a few times now.

Excellent service, and they don't sell crap LiPOs. The Hyperion VX range are the best value for money, whilst for ultimate performance either the Thunderpower G4 45C LiPOs or the PolyRC 43C LiPOs are the ticket.

Free (fast) shipping and good prices. If you send them an email and are planning on buying mulitple LiPOs, they'll probably give you a discount.

If you want UK supplied lipos, we do the GP 2S 5000ma 28C Lipo at £52.99. It's hardcased, BRCA and EFRA legal and designed for Corally connectors.

Hope this helps,

Those Yuntong cells look pretty good value.

Not sure about the legality though?

The Thunderpower 5000mAh 40C packs (the 7.4V one) are, and all the Thunderpower 40C packs are ROAR legal.

The Hyperion packs are, (all the carbon effect ones with yellow labels).

In fairness, I'm sure some of the other packs will be approved for 2010 too.

I have one of the 7.4V Thunderpower packs (the 5000mAh 40C pack), and it is excellent, has good punch.
