For me, LRP packs have been excellent. Look at what the A-main in the ETS uses, it can give you a direction on what to choose.

I have not had luck with LRP. Bought two high end packs and both had very high IR. I consider a good pack to be 1.5-.5 IR per cell, on my icharger. The LRP packs had 2.5-2.8 per cell.

I actually have 2 team Orion 3200mah 120c graphene lipos, and I think they work just fine. Super light, good punch. I can totally tell the power fading out during the run, but probably because it's a 3200mah

It's not a good thing if you can really feel a pack fading out during a run.

It really isn't, that's why I reserve them mostly for practices... wish I would have known better before buying them, would for sure purchased a bigger battery instead - another example of going cheap is almost never good

I wouldn't reserve them for practices either, just sell them. You want your practice setup to be close to, if not identical to your racing setup.

You are absolutely right, I know I need better batteries but just keep being a cheap bastard

I run Team Orion Carbon Pro 5800mah 110c Li-Po(s).
Been running them for over 3-months (13-runs). I haven't had any problems with these batteries so-far.

I just would like to see some-kind of a pro-test on these batteries.

Thanks for everyone's insite.

You are right, GensAce is one of the best battery.

And as usual everyone is promoting their experience with as result no clear answer of a brand that sticks out....

Face it, as long you are no team driver getting batteries with selected cells, you as a normal consumer has to do with what you get. As someone says to get a model from brand X because he had a good battery there is no garantee if you buy one you get the same specs. Luck is a huge factor.

Good Grief. Hydrogen in R.C. Cars...? The hobby is getting crazy. (isn't Li-Po enough?)

Totally agree with @dawgmeat, IP Lipos is the best.

Associated Reedy Wolfpack HV-liPo 7.6V 4200mAh 50C Shrt

Im thinking of buying this its right around the $50 price range new - and from what im told 30c would even be fine in the setup.
in any case as I understand after talking with people about this and reading is that the C rating on this has to do with discharge rates?

in any case is there some reason why this battery would NOT be good for racing aspect? I would like to ask twice before buying once wrong fully. Thanks in advance as always!
