Questions?? Another 2s lipo thread......

Hi guys!

I'm relatively new to RC and new to RCTech, and so far, I like the both . But, being new to RC, I have a difficult problem not only to understand and solve-lipos.

I recently got an ECX Torment 1/10 and put a Sidewinder SV3 and a 5700kv castle motor in it. Then I got a decent china made 3s lipo and now it's fast! But they don't allow 3s lipos at my local track, which means I can't use it. So it's either 2s lipo of 6 cell nimh, and I would pick lipo any day of the week. Since I'm a kid and don't revive a paycheck, I need to save as much money as possible. So I have 5 lipo options. I want the best "bang for my buck", so if that means I can get a great deal on something, even if it costs a little more, I'll do it. But I cannot buy, say, a venom lipo because they are like $80 each.

Note: I am probably going to buy it off eBay

Option 1: HUNGER 5000mah 40c/80c (30.87 shipped)
Option 2: GIANT POWER 5500mah 65c/130c (44.98 shipped)
Option 3: ZIPPY FLIGHTMAX 5000mah 20c/30c (32.80 shipped)
Option 4: (slightly used) GENS ACE 5000mah 40c (35.13 shipped)
Option 5: TURNIGY NANO-TECH 5000mah 25c/50c (39.90 shipped)

The giant power has a 5c fast charge, and the hunger (supposedly) has a 10c charge (which I would never do). The only one that ships from china is the hunger 5000. Any other ideas? Which do you think I should get? Any input would be great unless its an argument about lipo safety or something.

Thanks
Alec
