Battery dilemma ?

[BashingBrian]

Just asking for opinions..
What would you buy out of these two packs, I don't want suggestions about smc etc as I cant get them in the UK..!!

My choices are CNHL or Hobbyking Rapids... I'm not bothered about soft or hard packs and the batteries are for my O8s, I already have some of the CNHL's but I keep hearing about the rapids..?

I own the Hobbyking Rapids. They are good batteries but the wires are 12awg which is something to consider. For me it's not a big deal but would've still been nice to see some 10awg wires on there. I run them in my OC4s and I did some speed runs with my Infraction on 8s and they did alright. I don't have some CNHL / Panthers to test them against but the voltage sag was alright, I think (not too experienced with the data logs yet ?). But for general bashing they should be plenty

I'm using the gensacearespammers Bashing Series since a while and I.m happy with. They are tough and due to the lower price it doesn't hurt when I need to replace one. They have also the perfect size to be used for 3S and 6S models ?

For me then, the Rapids are a no go as 12awg wire is just not enough in my opinion..?

I really don't get it. They rated these at "140C" and then they go with 12awg?. But they do work great in my OC4s and I think they're capable of of getting my Infraction over 125mph. I think the CNHL's are the best bang for the buck, as they're basically Panthers

Are Turnigy HD's an option? I had seen some tests that indicated for long life, and real C output, they are one of the best.

I've had really good results with the Turnigy brand in my RC planes. If you treat them well you can get several years out of them.

I have four of them and really think they are awesome and are cheap as chips
