What is your RC LiPo of choice in 2024

I like spammers.

If CNHL broke the rules and got as bad as the ACE, I wonder what their spam name would be.

Spammer Hobby Line? SpamNHL?

I've got the zee & ovonic packs. I need a new set of 3s packs for my Infraction 6s. I'm really looking to get the spammers set. G-Tec Basher series 6800 120c matched hardcase packs.

I don't know if it's just me but the HV 8000mah 4s Zeee pack I used in my most recent speed runs definitely left more to be desired.

I found it searching for CNHL HV packs after reading some heroic stories. Not sure if I'm sold.

I have a lot of PowerHobby packs.
They are reasonably priced, very reliable, and my LHS always has them on the shelf.

I did just pick up some GENS@CE packs and they are pretty awesome when paired with the G-Tech smart charger.

They might be my new faves by the end of the year.

I have to admit the whole Gtech thing was not something I thought was needed, but it is actually pretty darn convenient. Especially with a charger like the D300 which can't save battery profiles.

CNHL Racing 3S-6S for me for general purpose bashing.

CNHL Racing 4S LiHV hardcase for racing.

So far for my 3S batteries , the HRB's I bought have done very well . New 4S Hoovo's doing well too but they're brand new , see how they are in a few cycles.

I have centro 100c 7600mha, I don’t know much about them or have nothing to compare them too but I think there really good. Some times they last too long.

Are they any good?

What's everyone's thoughts on Socokin? Their price point really peaked my interest. I'm new to lipo so go easy on me

I have a couple sets of the 6500mah 4S batteries, they've been holding up well and are cheap as heck.

I wouldn't put them in demanding applications, but I have three I use in an over volted setup (running 6s instead of 4s) so the demand on the battery is pretty low. They've survived some decent crashes.

If you're just starting out, almost any old lipo will do fine. Pick an option that fits your budget and get your feet wet. That will give you something to "upgrade to" down the line. Just my 2 cents.

CHNL 3S 6200MAH. Nice for the price.

Love mine very much! Exactly what I wanted!

I have the SMC batteries, 2- smc 5200s 150c and one 8400 120c.

My only 2 requirements with lipos are they are powerful enough to give me wheelies and light enough not to snap chassis in half when I send it.

I'd say those are fair requirements lol

Happy with my G1 Spektrum 5000mah 50c 2s packs but the new HRB 5200mah 120c 2s packs are incredible.

 

[Moirae]

SMC the best I have but I also have cnhl and some liperior packs I use. For 6s bashing I'm still using the same Yowoo and Socokin packs I bought when I started the hobby a few years ago.

Do you notice a marginal difference between the SMC and CNHL? When I went from spektrum/zee to cnhl there was a huge difference you can feel and see. Running cnhl racing 6600 120c.

That being said I had one dead cell from cnhl but ordered from Amazon, so they sent a replacement hassle free.
