Default Best Bang For Your Buck 2s Lipo?

Ok, so I am looking to get a nice 2s hardaces race lipo. For one, i would like it to be around 10 oz. two, I would like to get it for around $75. This will be run in my Losi XXX-SCT with a 13.5 BL system on a small indoor clay track. So far I am looking at these:

I can get this for $90 Trakpower 40C 5000mah: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXYAP1&P=ML

$40! Hobby People 5000mah 35c: http://www.hobbypeople.net/index.php...-case-4mm.html

$75 Venom 5000mah 40C: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXYKT5&P=7

What others should i consider?

Well best bang for buck are these. They don't have the warranty of the namebrands or their cousin Nano-techs performance and reliability but at that price you could toss half of them after 200 cycles and still be ahead of the game.

Default Venom

I have that venom battery and I like it a lot. Plenty of run time and good output.

I had another venom in my transmitter and it went bad within a couple weeks of purchase. It was out of stock, so they gave me a choice of waiting or replacing it with another battery of my choice. I came out ahead $$ wise. Very good customer service!!!!!

i have 4 of these packs and they are incredible. they have stood the test of time and i have tortured them in very heavy MTs. they have incredible punch and don't even get warm unless really pushed hard. these batteries get my vote.

The turnigys are good, Ive no trouble with mine at all except that they are rather large and the wires that come out the front can be a pain to work with on some applications.
