Based on others recommendations I've picked up a couple SMC Racing 4S 6500mah 60C packs. They perform excellently on my Senton so thanks for the recommendation! Very nice (and inexpensive) batteries, would buy again!

Would you get 2 X 2S packs or 1 4S?
The 4S would be a little bit cheaper but what would be the +side of going with 2X2S packs?
I'm sold on the SMC and SPS brands per the recommendations and you tube reviews.

There was a thread started about this a week or so ago, IIRC in this forum.

well i wouldnt know cause i have never owned a 4s lipo. all i could say would be that charging 1 battery would be easier than charging 2. but i couldnt be happier with my two spc's. 6s is faster though

Im running 2 Dynamite reaction 5700mah 80c 3s hardcase or Venom 5000mah 100c soft case. I prefer the hard case batteries. Never know when ima hit something. I've had to warranty 4 Venom's so far.

I have found the Lectron Lipo's to be not only very dependable, but last along time. I just got two new ones they are 3s 5200mah 50c and I paid under $100 for both! I have a few Venoms, but for the money, they aren't so good. I typically prefer to use MaxAmps, but damn they are expensive, but are bullt proof IMO.

Whoops - that'll leave a dent...
"MCSGUY" on RCGroups did some pretty extensive testing on various LiPo batteries (link). Though he focuses on the major brands, there's definitely still some value to be had from a budget standpoint. I personally use three different brands right now: Turnigy Blue, Pulse (these are expensive), and Glacier (don't recommend - all three I bought are puffing up), all softcase. I have found that the Turnigy Blue's to hold up quite well.
Based on the comments in this thread, I may have to give SPC a try.

I ordered (2) Floureon 2s 8000mAh 40c LiPos for $67. (2) TRX to Deans adapters for $8. Dimensions given tell me that they fit comfortably in my Granite. Waiting patiently for delivery....
Just ordered "FLOUREON 7.4V 4000mAh 2S 30C Li-Polymer Lipo RC Battery Pack Deans Plug RC Car".

I will be honest to you. When buying Lipos don't look at the price! or you will buy twice! Lipos are also a Danger, so if you buy good and high quality lipos the chance that they blew up is at a minimum.
When I started to search good and cheap lipos i asked many people if they can help me, and all of them said me don't buy cheap lipos like fluoreon etc...but in the end its your choice

Yes, I was expecting something like 20mins max.45 mins on the 2S? Thumb's up!!!
Assuming my Vorteks/Raider have the same battery bay; it fits easily in the battery tray?
Thx!
