Default Blue 1800mAh 3S Li-Po

I picked up one of these lipo's and it came in today.
I know you might be able to get one from Hobbyking for cheaper but, this one came from the U.S.A., I got it only in 5 days after ordering, and there was no shipping charge so it probably wasn't much price difference after you figure in hobbyking's shipping charge.
I also imagine if I had to return it for being defective it would be allot easier than shipping it to China.


Here it is with my new $5.75 lipo sack (also from hobbypartz)I soldered the Deans plug on it.
It's roughly the same dimensions as my Turnigy 1800mAh 3S pack.(103x35x19mm)
I know it's only 15c but it should still put out more amperage than my motor will draw anyways.(about 27A)

I just charged it up and I'm going to run it in my 6800kv RC18T.
I'll post my results and opinions after I give it a run.

But a similar Lipo from hobbyking is still between $9.50(turnigy)-$13.48(same turnigy from DE warehouse)or $11.19(zippy flightmax)

After shipping the one I got from hobbypartz was cheaper(free shipping from hobbypartz)

That is a good thing since I bet most of they're business come from the US.

That battery will give you a peak amperage of exactly 27amps (C Rating x mAh ÷ 1000).

Seems like a great deal. May have to pick up one (or several, lol).
