Default Is this Lipo battery junk ?

Is 20C really that bad ?

Is this battery going to burn my motor?

I'd try to avoid the 20Cs - plane club survey of members showed that nearly all the puffed lipos were 20C rated. ones. I think one of the guys in the MT thread got a pr of these and they came puffed and were never really any good.


I personally don't use their 20Cs, I get the 25C or 30Cs.

Hard to say much as there is no real standard for C rating. I've ran 16C Hyperion lipos without issue before most people even knew what a lipo was. Used to run lower discharge than that in 1/10. Being that you are using a 2S pack, I would assume it is for 1/10 scale where 100 amps is definitely plenty of juice.

the pack that you are looking at is perfect for 10th scale trucks.i have about 8 of those batteries coming right nowand i have 6 here right now and they work flawlessly for about a year now in my t4 and b4.1.

Like they said. If you use it in a 10th scale it will be fine.

I use 90c because I'm the coolest. I just ordered some 115c They were only $130 each. What a deal!


Seriously though, The 20c will work awesome in your Blitz. I use the same batteries in my Slash and B4. Just balance them and don't run them down too far, like all lipos.

just get the 30C if you're worried... they're only $22 and in stock

it all depends on the ESC you're running. VXL/mamba pro then over 20C, over 90amp then over 25C, 150amp like mamba monster or hpi flux then over 30C

Changing laws on shipping Lithium batteries.

Some inspector will be paid off in china and regular shipping will be back to 14 days. Or, pick EMS and get them through swisspost in 7
