Gens Ace are good for the price but I haven't bought any lately because they keep getting broken connections inside of them. I have had 6 or so solder joints fail inside the lipo, I would open them & resolder it but it would break fail somewhere else. Maybe I just had bad luck with them, who knows. I only buy Nano-Tech's now, for the extra money it's worth it IMO.

Just for the record, I take good care of my lipos.

i started racing electric last year and ive used gens ace batteries ever since. they are great for the price. the drawback is they are never ever in stock. i use the roar approved 40c 2s hardcase and i havent seen them in stock for a while. all the ones i see being sold here sell very fast but i was able to snag one last night.
i also use a thunder ac6 charger from hobbypartz, never had any problems with it.

Definitly great batteries, ive done comparison tests using different batteries on my blinky cars and found the Gens to be the best I've used for my purposes.

I TQ'ed in all 3 quals. In the A-Main I was in Fist Place from the start of the race until the end. The car was running smooth. The Gens Ace Batteries were perfect for the race. I had a lot of power with good punch for the entire race.

This is gonna be a small thread or mainly about how they are never in stock...... I have a few left but will be selling them asap (waiting on other lipo's to come in)......... I'd rather pay more and get customer support then pay cheap and have no customer support.......

between my friends and i, we have broken ~12 packs. on our last order i would take em apart before i even ran them and just resolder and beef up the joints.

But what customer support would you possibly need for a lipo? I could by 3-4 gens packs for the cost of 1 of some name brand packs that are the same pack with a diff label.. Ok lets say I did actually have an issue with gens ace (which I haven't and most don't), who cares. Get rid of it and buy another, your still far far ahead..

i had a problem with support one time dealing with a charger. i bought a thunder 1c6 charger and when i got it, i noticed the usb port was missing. took it about and found that it came off the board(guess it wasnt soldered well?).
i had a hell of a time trying to explain to support but for some reason, they didn't understand. i ended up receiving a usb cable in the mail a few days later. i got the feeling they didn't want to replace the charder so i just said screw it and kept the charger because everything works but that usb port.
never had a problem with any of the gens ace batteries yet, knock on wood.
