  • Good alternative to Optipower Ultra 50's 6s 5000mah?

    My 6s lipos have seen better days, I am looking to replace them. I like the opti's and they have out lasted the other brands which I have tried, but at £290 per pair and I need 3 pairs, they are a bit costly.

    Can anyone recommend a good alternative?

      I also took a punt and HRB 6S batteries a month or so back and have given them a decent amount of punishment so far and they are holding up well

        Interesting. I had not heard of those (it's kinda cool you can get them with EC5s already on)

          I believe revolectrix are top notch and at the moment there's 15% off using fling18 so should help with import duty etc

            I emailed them about the revos and apparently they don't sell the split packs anymore and shipping the 6s 5200mah will cost $290 dollars!

            "Sorry, we no longer carry split pack. Please note that Fedex cannot ship B420 5200 6S 40C and only can be ship via Special mode MOQ weight is 10kg."
            "The shipping to ship 2pcs is expensive as it will base on 10kg. Estimated USD290."

            On the plus side I can get 10kg's worth of batteries shipped for $290!

            That's a bit pricey for me!

              I've had several 6s 5000mah packs from Revolectric and had no probs with the shipping costs.

              Their GO packs are very good and I will be ordering some more with their current 15% discount

                Sounds from the previous post that Revo have had to change their shipping arrangements making it a non-starter.

                      Strange then because it didn't work when I tried it yesterday. Is said that the code was invalid or had expired. Value of the cart was well over $100. I'll give it another try today, maybe just a web site glitch.

                          Not for me, this was a $200 plus value order.

                            That's strange.
