All 6 of the packs look identical, aside from the labeling.
All 6 packs charged and balanced quickly and easily (even first cycle).
I still have one of the WinForce Akku packs. I sold it to a buddy about 6 months ago, then bought it back from him within the last month.
Both this older pack and the new DragonRed packs perform flawlessly. Plenty of power and run time.
I paid $43.00 shipped for each (yes - $20.00 shipping). Longest shipping time from Hong Kong was 13 days. Shortest was 8 days.
I've raced since the late 80's and gone through the different technologies of batteries available to race with. I was a "fast guy" at one time (1/10th scale 2WD buggy and truck - up until the year 2000). After having gotten back into racing about a year ago, I find myself racing some of my old buddies. One of which is the fast guy to beat in eBuggy and is sponsored by MaxAmps.
At this time, I do not feel at any disadvantage using these batteries when racing against him.
Until I feel like my batteries are keeping me from getting any faster, I'll buy $43.00 DragonRed or WinForce Akku's packs every time vs. the more expensive packs. I run these in my Hot Bodies D8 Tekno V4 electric conversion. All 3 packs are 4S 5000mAh, 30C.
PM if you have any further questions.
