    They from what I can tell are a brand that are pushing a lot of marketing lately.

    All I know is Kyle Dhal uses them. Dont actually know any joe bloggs using them!

    They seem pretty cheap, but that means nothing with lipos. 6s 5100 35c £95 - come on Ben buy 2 and test them out on the Srimok......

    Gotta say though mate the difference between the brands and c ratings performance wise is amazing. If money were no object I'd have 6 pairs of the Flightech 50c they absolutely pee on the Turnigy and Loongmax that I have. Be interesting to see how these Voltz ones compare. Guess I'll have to be the guinea pig then bah.

    @scallybert $35 from Readyheli in the States, for the pack in your link should not translate to 48Euro. That shop is a real rip-off.

    Strangely, it's now showing as 39Euro/$49.52/£32.36 . Perhaps they read this forum..?

    My usual (depressing) expectation is to pay the same in £s (in the EU) as the Americans pay in $s.

    Personally, I'm more interested in a technical comparison than re-visiting the 'rip-off Britain' argument.

    I don't enter in the popcorn munchathons either but I knew I had seen a price a fair bit lower than 48Euro.

    As to the packs themselves D Dahl gave a short write up stating although early days Kyle was getting the results he hoped for from the packs and would not of switched suppliers without knowing how well Voltz were going to work out. They have alot to live up to though as Kyle had a couple of his original packs nearing 300 cycles and still going strong.

    Looks like Midland have them too for £33.99. Still a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent Outrage pack.
