So what do you think?
I had a question recently about C Ratings and what's the best C rating lipo to go for?
Going for a pack with an insanely high C rating such as 100+ C could be a waste unless you are using it on a high powered application as RC electronics will only pull as much power as required.
For most moderate powered applications 30-50c is more than enough and using packs with very high C ratings are unlikely to make any major difference in performance and speed.
For very high powered applications such as speed run cars pulling serious amps then get the highest C rating battery you can afford to make sure the electronics are getting as much power as possible.

I've been inches away from pulling the trigger on the Arrma typhon 6s v5 especially with that $75 discount they are offering, this would be my first serious buggy, I think your vid just solidified this decision for me. Honestly I can't think of anything else that can perform at that level for that price, except for the corally radix 6.

[@roblowrie1969]

I bought some 3s Zeee LiPOs from Amazon, when they were on offer, and I have to say, the quality was spot on. The only issue I had was a ESC/servo not liking 3s, otherwise, the car was ballistic!! 👍🏻

[@disciplinerc]

I run 2x 4s 6500mah 80c in my Infraction. Solid power delivery!!

[@The_RC_Dude]

First! I personally use Awanfi packs from Amazon, so far, I’ve had them for over like 8 months now, and they’re doing pretty good. $24 for 2x 1500mAh 40c (or maybe it was 45c) 2s packs, not bad! I may try some Zee packs when these Awanfi’s wear out, the only issue I’m having with them is on one pack, the one I use more, it has been having some slightly balancing issues, but I think it’s getting better, it still runs and charges fine, and I think it was the same pack, that once, on my 144001 (when I had a brushed HobbyWing Quicrun 1060 brushed ESC in it) I somehow managed to run the pack down to 2.85v/c, don’t ask me how in the world I did that, but it happened. I took it home, popped it on my very basic LiPo charger, and it charged right up, and has been going strong! The pack MAYBE get lukewarm when running in my now brushless converted 144001!

[@beyondRC]

I have heard of Awanfi but never tried them! May have to give them a try. Sounds like one of the cells may be going bad but as long as its performing correctly then keep using it haha!! Whats the worst that could happen 😜

[@The_RC_Dude]

@@beyondRC Oh, you have? TBH I never heard of them until I saw them on Amazon, but to be fair I didn’t really do a ton of prior research on budget LiPos. Yeah, one of the cells was wonky, which probably led to the unbalanced voltage. I never know what’s really going on in the LiPo when stuff like this happens, the same thing happened to the stock blue 1500mAh LiPo that came in my 144001, and one of the balance leads cam un-soldered after ~1.5 years of use 😬😬, so I never did manage to save that stock pack. As I said, the wonky pack is now more stable, I’m guessing maybe 5-10 more cycles on it and it’ll be near normal, hopefully, it still runs well and everything, no noticeable performance difference, and my basic LiPo balance charger still charges it fine, so thats good. Yeah, get yourself one, I’m interested to know your thoughts! I will say, the quality and construction of the pack is above average (IMO), the packs have 12awg wires, for a 2s 1500mAh (stock Wltoys packs have 14awg wires), and the little balance-lead-extender-grip-pull-thingies which should prevent the balance wires from getting un-soldered over time! The deans connectors also have little ridges for extra grip. As far as I can tell, all the other Awanfi packs have a similar good value and construction, they even make a couple of NiMH packs for those who run NiMH batteries. I think Awanfi has some hard case packs too, but don’t quote me on that. The two 2s 1500mAh’s I have are the standard size, so they fit snugly in the 144001’s battery tray, you don’t need to move the front battery bracket to the farther location.

I have a 8000 hard pack 100c 3s that I use in my Big Rock. Great battery!

[@rcbustanut2057]

ZEEE Batteries are definitely among some of the best budget friendly batteries out there that I have tried. I own quite a few of them & over a year later, they are still performing well on my bashers. For speedruns however, better off with CNHL G+Plus series, budget friendly ones at least. And anyone who says "why not get an wltoys" .... Well, they just haven't tried an Arrma yet 😂. I own a few Arrmas, including the Typhon 6S which is now over 1.5yr years old. The car has gone through serious abuse between bashing and speedruns & its still going strong with VERY little repairs. I just finished stretching her out & customized her for speedruns. Just pushed 99mph on her 1st test run on 4S. I have also owned several wltoys cars, so I know how their quality stands. So yes, I can compare apples to apples for those who may be quick to snap. I even own several traxxas cars & they themselves can't compare to Arrma. And when it comes to suspension, nothing so far that I have ran can compare to Losi. They truly are something else, the best out of the box suspension I have ever experienced. Just my honest thoughts and opinions 🤗

[@beyondRC]

Arrmas are awesome. You are right people that say get a wltoys haven't experience a proper 3s or 6s arrma haha 🤣👍👍

[@philhumber1534]

I had a Voltz with my Maverick 3s and its been stable everytime. Also had 2 "Goldbat" hardcases and tbh I was surprised with the quality and packaging, they are only 2s but 5200mah and 50c

[@obitocyberpunk8521]

The Ovonic is also a good budget option. Both the runtime and performance exceeded my expectations.

[@patmarcus172]

They look rugged and are very good value. Many of my basher friends use them. I’m intrigued by the new zeee premium range which seem to be slowly becoming more available. They’re all sporting a claimed higher voltage output eg 11.4v on a 3s rather than 11.1v etc

[@odinpower7094]

I've seen them ,they're $ 1000 bucks some of them.... I'm sure it was a zee....

[@benlandel65]

Zeee are the best. After learning the hard way that the Typhon body restrict the battery size badly, I've been running a Zeee 5200mAh 100c. Ok, that C rating is probably fake, but it's been a good pack so far. I need another pack and but I'm not sure if I'll get the same pack or a 5000 HRB...

Don't know how much Amp Typhon draw, I have 2 of the exact same battery 6S 50C and both puffed after a few runs with Amp draw mostly at 50A. Battery was sightly warm and I used them for about 1.5 yrs until they were too puffy/dangerous. They were always on storage charge until needed. Maybe you can do a long term test? I think the C rating is for burst and that explain why mine puffed up

buddy wants me to ask if how they charge? Does the rc have a plug to charge or is that seperet to?

What do you recommend charging them with? I've been paying the premium for the Spektrum G2 smart batteries and don;t want to spend so much on them anymore. I'm worried about charging these Zheee batteries incorrectly as my smart charger does not have a balance option apparently, even though it is smart enough to do the g2 series. Thank you!

So I have a question regarding the C rating. I have a E-flight Viper 70mm with a 70A ESC. I also have the opportunity to get a pair of Zeee 6S Lipo 4000mAh 22.2V 100C for under $120. Are you saying that I shouldn't get it because the C rating of 100 is too high?

[@beyondRC]

No higher the C rating the better, the electronics will only pull as much power they need so having a high C rating helps give you the extra head room. Anything high performance I would always recommend 100c or above.

[@darkki94]

Putting Arrma Typhon 6S in the same sentence with WLtoys is just dumb ( and i'm a wltoys fanboy ) unless you are talking about super speed runners (yesterday i saw a video of a WLtoys doing 250km/h) and still the Arrma parts would handle a lot more power. About the battery brand , they are nice but don't offer low capacity models, a lot of cars can't fit 5000mah battery .

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

I did a speed run test 25c Traxxas and 100c Zee were the same a 100c Gens Ace got me 5mph more I would say their c rating is exaggerated

[@beyondRC]

For sure! C ratings are like false speed claims. They all bump everything up as it’s more appealing and will sell more. It’s all marketing tactics

[@williamperri3437]

I SWEAR by these batteries. Almost everybody in America uses powerhobby batteries and I've gone through at least 10 or 12 and I've had a lot of bad luck with them. I balance my batteries and cycle them often and if still had multiple power Hobbies die on me. I snore them at the correct 3.85 V and if I'm running them often I'll leave them at just under 4 per cell and do a quick charge just before running and I still had three or four power Hobbies die on me in a year or less 😢 Zee batteries are a lot less and you can find deals when you buy 2 at a time and ZERO issues yet.

[@williamperri3437]

WLToys or Typhon? Totally different RC. LC and Arrma are totally different as well.

[@beyondRC]

Exactly. Just because the wltoys is just as fast or quicker out the box doesn't make it better. There are so many factors to consider! Wltoys doesn't come close to the typhon 😅They are great for what they offer but build quality is night and day difference!!
