I currently have a set of these https://hobbyking.com/en_us/rhino-5...884&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products and so far I like them a lot better than my 5500mah 50c Ovonics, they lost longer and have a lot more punch.

I had the 6s version of this and it was a beast until I broke it. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy...108&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products

I run HRB 5000mah batteries 6s. They work great for me but I don't have anything to compare them to. I wouldn't mind a xmas present with a brand name one though so I can see the differance

I have a couple of 2s HRBs that I bought used from a member on here like 2 years ago and they are still rocking. I run them in my Vorza.

Amazon.com: YOWOO Graphene Battery 3S 5000mAh 100C 11.1V LiPo RC Battery with XT90 Plug for 1/8 Scale Vehicles Arrma Slash VXL Slash 4x4 VXL E-maxx Brushless Axial e-revo Brushless and Spartan Models: Toys & Games
Work great in my Lim, Infr and Kraton. Yoowoo makes HRB. But there are so many good choices out there. One for every wallet.

I have no issues with them, but I still want a set of really good high punch brand name ones. For when I want to beat the boys lol.

Good high punch would be Turnigy Graphene, Graphene Panthers or CNHL G+ series. Looking at this chart you see why I went with the Turnigy HD brick and the Rhinos from Hobbyking.

I have a set of 3s 5000mah spektrum 100c hc that are ok, a set of 3s 6000mah Zeee 80c hc and a set of 3s 5000mah HRB graphene 100c that I recently bought from Amain.com. The hrb graphene are the better of what I have. More punch and lower ir ?

Your HRB's have the same cells as the Yoowoo 3s. 5000/100C graphenes I have. And also the best punch of all my Lipos so far. And lowest IR's. Charge after charge.

why 2 -3's and not just a 6S?

I have no experience with the Panthers so I cannot comment on them. The HDs over the Rhino I cannot really tell the difference to be honest. I no longer have the HD as I killed it

I don't really understand the chart too much, but from what I gather my hrbs are no where near what they rate them at. From the chart do you think the panther is any better than the rhino or not worth the price difference?

The first item is the pack. The second is the weight of the pack. Third is the true C rate. Forth is the C index(basically the difference between the listed and true C rate). Fifth is the watts per gram. 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 & 21 are the max temp recorded during the test. 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 & 22 is the voltage maintained at 50% of discharge cycle. 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23 I am not sure it says Bal so I am assuming how far out of balance the lowest cell was from the rest ?‍

For general bashing probably not, racing or speed runs yes.

Yup. Definitely lowest internal resistance and I'm happy with my buy but the ones from Amazon are most definitely the same and cheaper.

I would like to add, stay in the 5000 mah range, good run time and keeps weight down over higher mah packs. Also keeps heat in check over higher mah packs, gives your rig time to cool down before next run.

And don’t get a 8500mah 3s like I did

If you are open to buying single 6s packs I run Hoovo 6000mah 60c packs. At the time they were under $70. I use to only run Zeee's and Ovonics, but wanted to try something different this time. I was able to get 3 of the Hoovo's for under $200. So far they are great. Ive been running them in my Kraton 6s and get about 17 mins on average. Plenty of power too. Currently the 6000's are $75.99, but the 5200's are only $58.49.
