LRP/Reedy/Orion/thunder power lipo packs which is the best
#1

Hi all...just need some opinion/feedback on which pack to get as there are too many good lipo packs available in the market. I will be using these for touring car racing.
Also which is better higher capacity or higher c rating, which packs do factory drivers use?
....thnx in advance to any feedbacks

C-Rating is just marketing. Just ask yourself where do these numbers come from? ;-) They are just estimates, no real 'hard' facts.
Just get yourself some decent batteries (from a good brand) and you are in 80% of the time good to go. LRP, Reedy and Orion are good batteries. Don't know about Thunder Power since I never ran them.

actually all these numbers as you call them are not estimates they are all facts about the batteries
the C-rating is not just marketing its the continuous discharge rating or basically the power output rating, all the specs and everything are checked and tested before battery is sent out to be sold, just to let you know

Mark Rheinhard uses Thunder Power etc.
I think once you have bought a decent pack from any of the manufactures you'll be fine

There is no standard for measuring the 'C' rating of lipo's, until there is, it is marketing BS!

i have used the Swelly LRP's , the Intellects (ok) and then Orion , these give me the best top speed of all (13.5 blinky )
Why would you need more power with a 4 turn motor ?????
I think all major manufacturers are good quality

I think a lot of it depends on what part of the world you are in as well. I know that all brands you listed are exceptional and some not listed are as well. It comes down to what you can get locally or easiest for the best price that fits your budget. But you cant go wrong with any listed.

Thunderpower all the way baby !!! Be careful with the other ”recommended” packs ! Paul Lemieux, Marc Rheinard, and others can't be wrong...

I have only use thunder power from your list and I found it holds the voltage better as you discharge them. Again, I am only comparing it with the random brands I used to have. Thunder power seems very consistent over my 6 min run

As long as you buy a brand name battery you really can't go wrong. However, is you have a chance buy a battery which is supported at your local hobby shop because although these are high quality packs, puffing at the first few chargings can happen
