Best 4S 5000 mAh >70C LiPo's

[Peter Gise]

I have run Turnigy 4S 5000 mAh Nano Tech 70C LiPo's for years in my FE hydros but they are getting harder to find and are back ordered until end-October.

Can anyone recommend a good high C alternative?

I’ve always had good luck with china line hobby batteries. Roaring Top have been equally good.

Thanks, it seems like Hobby King is always out of stock...

Roaring top or dinogy.
ML Boatworks is selling the later.

Another good option is SMC Racing

The RoaringTop 5500 70C are excellent cells. SMC offers some nice cells with larger capacities if you need more.

Rattlesnake RC at allrc1.com is now offering Zeee 6000mah 4S 100C soft packs. $84.95 each on sale now at $82.95. I chose to cycle a set a couple times and then ran them in 6 straight rounds of 1/8 Scale at the past weekends RCU Gold Cup. I won the Final.

I know you are not doing SAW runs, but thought you might like to see some back to back comparisons from my Mono hull boat.
All I did was swap LiPos and cool down the motor between runs. These are 3s/6s setups but they offer the same brands in 4s.

- GensAce is very similar to Zeee as a cheap option. (you get what you pay for)
- CNHL G+ 70c is the highest output lipo from CNHL (ignore what they say about c-ratings)
CNHL is budget friendly and if not being pushed to 400+ amps would probably be a great option for most people.
- ONYX is top tier right on par with SMC from all the data I have seen.
