I am on a budget and wanted your opinion on these lipos
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zippy-Turnigy-5000mAh-2s-7-4v-20c-30c-LiPo-hardcase-/220735331069?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3364d9dafd
I am not a championship contender, just a keen fun racer so dont need the best or most expensive.:thumbsup:
They seem reasonable.
I'd prefer them with corally connections though.

I have some of the black cased 5000 40/50c 2S Turnigy packs for club racing and they are great, a lot of our club racers use them.
We allow them for club racing as long as they are hard cased and charged in a LiPO charging sack as with any LiPO packs.
They are not BRCA legal so you wouldn't be able to use them at BRCA championship meetings and maybe some clubs would be stricter on use, but for fun, practice or bashing they are great value.
If you are looking at buying more than one or have mates that are keen to do a bulk order it may be worth getting them direct from Hobbyking, if they ship from Europe then you won't pay import duty, if they ship from Hong Kong then chances are high you will.

This is the same thing and may save you a few £'s, they do bulk price deals, if you want to order a few, leave them in your shopping cart rather than buying straight away and you normally get an e.mail with a discount offer ; )
Hope this helps.
