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'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.
