So, in low power applications, the batteries aren't really working hard most of the time, and you won't notice a lot of difference..
You say they take more charge and have higher voltage. Firstly, taking more charge is subjective to a point, as every time you use your car, it will draw more or less power from it, it's impossible to use the exact same amount of capacity, so how do you know they can draw more charge?
Secondly, great news if you got good Zippy's, fantastic stuff for the price. When they work. I have heard stories on both sides of the fence about great ones and bad ones. It's probably worth the chance considering their low price.
One last comment though. Reedy support the industry and lots of race meets and racers. They also put a lot of time into product research and development, that the Chinese companies later reverse engineer for little cost. Ask yourself where the RC industry would be if companies like Reedy packed-up shop.....
