Hi,
About 6 or 7 years ago I got my first RC vehicle...the Traxxas Rustler. When I got it, the guy at the shop recommended I get a lipo and lipo charger to really enjoy the fun. When he told me the Traxxas brand lipo was going to cost $60, I said no thank you and submitted myself to nimh for the next several months if not first full year. During that time, I also got a micro helicopter and a micro airplane which both used tiny 1s lipos. I took to flying pretty quickly so I started browsing the local shops selection of foam parkflyer airplanes. The prices on the planes weren't too bad, but the lipos the shop sold (E-flite) were about $35 or $40. I actually ended up buying a slightly smaller plane (Parkzone Wildcat) because it used 1300mah batteries that only cost $23.
So there I was driving my rc cars on nimh and flying planes that used 1300mah batteries. Finally, I met some guys on RCGroups that lived in my area. I started flying with them and I saw that most of them had tons of batteries. Here I was with a small handful of batteries for my plane and nimhs for my car lol. Then I noticed the the heaps of batteries they had looked different than mine. As we talked about our planes, it came out that I had chosen my planes on the cost of the batteries. The guys looked at me sympathetically and told me there were tons of battery brands out there online, and specifically that I should look into Gens Ace. One of the guys even gave me one of his to keep and fly with. It was a generous gesture and one that I still appreciate these many years later. I went home that day and looked the 1300mah and 2200mah 3s batteries. My jaw hit the floor when I saw how much cheaper they were than the leading brands. And not just a few bucks, the 2200 were at least $20 cheaper and the 1300s were at least $10 cheaper. I excitedly hopped over to the hardcase lipos for cars. I flipped when I saw the car batteries for my Ruster were HALF the price of the Traxxas batteries.
