This is unsubstantiated, having no direct proof myself.
However, it does seem like bench tests etc show both packs to perform equally as well. If this is the case, I'd be going for the cheaper Intellects.
I have (had) both lipos so i can tell you this:
- Orion and Intellect 3800s are actually 4200s Intellect YES-Orion not even close to 3800
- Orion is overrated True
- both packs perform more like a 28C pack, not 25 or 30Cs as claimed. Both packs perform more like a 20C pack
In my opinion Intellect 3800 performs much better.This is the reason i sold the Orion after 3 cycles.
