I'm wondering if I should get something a little smaller to cut back on the weight of the battery? Would saddle packs be better? Wish GensAce made shorties :(

Anyone have some words of wisdom for me?

I have a Gens Ace lipo 5000 50C and it runs the same as other lipo that i have and that have 60C.
For the price they are very good. I ill buy another one as soon as i can get one in stock here in Portugal.

I've had both styles of lipo's, with leads and without. Will never own another lipo of any brand that has leads. They are not braced on the inside enough to keep the tabs from breaking off. Any wire movement will lead to tab breakage sooner or later.

The worst that I've seen are the green venom lipo's, the cells slid around in the plastic case.

Have two, one for a year and the other six months.

If I had not marked them I would not be able to tell the diff, both have the same power. I race every weekend and use both.

www.hobbypartz.com has several popular batteries in stock right now and they've even had them for a while. It's like they finally got the message and started carrying enough stock. Either that or they are selling much slower since they jacked their prices up.

still out of stock on the 4s. Ill have to keep looking
