  • which lipos do you use?

    I conducted this poll on another forum, with very interesting results from over 200 votes! so i figured do the same here and see what if any differance a few thousand miles of ocean makes to peoples choices, so here goes.

    Thanks to the voters

          The ones that have proven themselves to me are Revos and Maxpoly.

          Neither are an option in the poll.

              i don't think it is as simple as that. ALL brands have good and bad cells (depending where they got them from). for example i would have said the 3s 2100 revo cells were about the best available if not THE best for the 450 2/3 years ago. the black labels were pretty poor in comparison and the new revo plats are excellent.

              the loongmax 25c are poor and the 30c cells are exceptional is another example.

              the point is ALL makers have good and bad cells, the key here is picking the weed from the chav which is difficult to do.

              cheers

                  Hey Brin, did those FP's work out ok for you ??

                  Guys see thats why its good to visit different places, the other poll was on helifreak, but over there they would not have a clue who Revo or maxpoly are. I cant seem to change the options now either, can u??
                  if not what about if its a vote for revo or maxpoly either drop a thank on the op na scrap that, just quick post a R or a M and ill count them up at the end.

                    Yeah i get your point completely and agree with it, but its more just a general brand servey than specific specs from each brand. Generally which brand do you prefer type question. BTW loongmax have stop production on the 25C packs now, its just going to be the new tipple 5C charge packs no idea what they are like though.

                      Kong Power 30C, Outrage, SMC, Hyperion (Haven't used yet but planning to) and Loongmax 30C (great for price).

                        hi lex dont know yet as the weather has been crap and it dont look good for tomorrow either.

                        can you put down multiple choices as i use several brands all for different reasons and also its hard to show a preference unless you have tried different ones.

                              I'm using the Hyperion, Rockamp, flightpower EONX and also the Loong Max 'Tipple' packs. Not sure I could vote a favourite out of them as I don't feel I have had enough cycles out of all of them to give a definitive choice at the moment. ...Actually, I'll discount the flightpowers out of the above, as they just don't have the power of the others.

                              I've also got a few Hong Kong Ebay packs which range from having about 45-60 cycles and still have decent power in them.
