Well, since I'm such a novice with lipos and batteries in general, take my review for what it's worth....... The warranty, locality, and price sold me. I'm looking forward to finally experiencing lipo power! Guess I'm ordering some Gensace lipos from Hobbypartz next. Planning to swap my Hyperion 5000 or getting a Hyperion 3600 in my Detta SC. Not sure what pinion to go with though.

Oh, the charger was $58 shipped.
