Well I think I will be very happy with my decision. If later on when my knowledge grows and I feel like these are not the packs for me Ill look into something else I heard the genace are good ones too. That was my other pick as far as lipos go.
But like I said Ill be very happy cause right now my rig is going nowhere fast. So Im sure of that because the packs I have now are pretty much done for.

I think you will notice some difference.
So far my Nano-techs/Turnigy are better than my Gens Ace.

I have a Nanotech, 5800mah, 2s, 30-60c lipo, and it was a HUGE step up from the Traxxas NiMH. Even though the NiMH was 8.4volt, and the Nanotech is 7.2v, the nanotech is soooooooooooooo much better.

A 2s lipo is 7.4v as rated on sticker and you will notice a difference verse your NIMIH.

Actually, it's 7.4 volts for a 2 cell lipo.

4.2v per cell times 2 is 8.4v

We're talking about nominal voltage. A 2 cell lipo is 8.4 at full charge. Anybody talking abot lipos in general will tell you 3.7 for 1 cell, 7.4 for 2 cell, 11.1 for 3 cell and so on.

True.
I think there was some confusion.

I meant to type 7.4, which as mentioned is the nominal voltage for a 2s Lipo.

Either way, the nano-tech I have is great and has been since I first used it. Coupled with my new brushless setup, it is serious FUN. Same brushless setup running on my NiMH is not nearly is impressive...

So I'm still waiting on my Trunigy's. I'm starting to think that this order from hobby king wasn't the best. Hopefully I'm wrong when I get the pack. What am I saying heck it will be a battery to power my Slash.

Yeah I asked the website and thats what they told me. But as your checking out dont they ask for a shipping fee and several options of how it will be delivered. Thats what really got me going. Oh well.
