Anyone recommend which maker of lipos they like?
I really like venom brand. Excellent quality, even better customer service and warranty. And ALWAYS buy a hard case lipo. Much safer! They can take abuse and less likely to explode if something stabs the case or a rock pinches in the battery tray
Got a new venom today. 2s lipo hard case. Works great and Tony at hobby town was very helpful. Course I also had to up grade to the brushless motor.

They did two lipo battery comparisons that have a lot of info too.
Congrats on the purchases. Did you get a new esc too? Hobby town has the cool sidewinder esc and brushless motors for short course trucks in stock.
went with the velineon up grade.. Then went down to grant park and put it through a good sand test..Very impressed with the battery life..
Yes the battery life is awesome I have a soft hyperion 3s been beating it up for almost a yr and no complaints. I didn't get the hard case cause I don't plan to race at a sanctioned place
I just got the hard case for a little added protection. No racing for me just outdoor bashing. Can't drive straight enough.
ha straight with a slash on a lipo is that even possible
yes i bring mine inside and keep it at room temp, run them outside is fine but dont store them at extreme temps either + or -
Ok Ty. I thought you could not run them in the cold.
i dont know if its a rule but ive been running mine in the snow and cold temps my motor likes it, doesnt overheat on me
Venoms are a very good battery for the price. I have 2 of the 3200 lipos and 2 of the 5000 lipos and they have never let me down.
As far as the cold temps and lipos, I actually won a larger event last winter after charging the battery right next to the window. Everyone elses batteries were around 90-100 degrees in tech before the race, and mine was at 32 degrees, lol. It didn't make a diffrence at all in power, and it didn't hurt the battery.
