What buying them of the gens ace website?

There you go Gens Ace. And you wouldn't have to pay VAT as it will be coming from the EU.

I bought some 6s 4000 30c from electricflyer.co.uk @£57 each.

I'm going to try them in the 700 and see what flight times I get.

If you are wanting 6s 5000 packs, get Optis. They are pretty much the same price, and the warranty on the Gene Ace is **** poor; doesn't even cover you of you use them!

I'm undecided if buying mine was a wise move, but we'll see.

I buy from Gens Ace in Germany, the website needs some work but apart from a slow refund I've had good service. 330's and 3800's in stock

i got some 4000mah 6s today from ElectriFlyer for £57. the packs are without a doubt the best quality i've seen in terms of construction/wires etc. i would like to see inside one but i'll keep that for another day :-).

all my batts came with the IR and voltage readings the day they shipped which is a nice touch.

the warranty pretty much looks to be nil on paper, maybe different in real life, hope never to find out.

cheers

my reduced price 6S 3300's from back in march just shipped from germany. I had to chase them up myself - due to a "stock error" they didn't have enough stock to cover the demand when the battery went on discount, I ended up deciding to just wait for more stock... saw that they were back in and they hadn't shipped! They very quicky responded however and the batteries are now on their way.

They also have their brand new 60C range - could be interesting given how the 25C are known for being very well rated!

The chap at electriflyer has always been very good to deal with too.

I'll definitely try 60C ones, I use hard shell ones in my RC car and amount of abuse this battery can stand (submerging, multiple crashes from 2 meter jumps, discharge to 3.1 volts) is surprising. Problem is that availability of (any gens ace) them is poor.

It'a not only Gens Ace though OPti has only recently got packs back in stock. I too ordered the 3300's when they were out of stock and waited a week to get a refund which I didn't like one little bit. Just ordered some 3800's though as the packs are good

[ChrisB]

I would like to try the new 60c ones also at some stage,my 25c 2650s are doing OK,no complaints so far,good quality construction,low IR and decent steady power thru the flight on Rex 500 and paired in the 6hv.

[waveydavey]

I find that the power stays right down to the beeper whereas my Turnigys start to drop off a bit after a couple of minutes, reason I've bought more

[ChrisB]

Yes I agree,the Tunigys do let go a bit but not too bad,the Gens Aces do hold the RPM better for me.

Lots of people using them to good effect in the synergy E7 Paul so expect good things as they are a very light pack

[Mark_T]

I'll definitely try 60C ones ...

I've not seen any 60C packs yet, but of the 25C and 30C packs I've seen, the 25C had better IR than the 30C, others have previously reported the same with the 50C packs.
