Turnigy products
What are folks opinions of the Turnigy range of products. They seem to be able to supply pretty reasonable products at pretty reasonable prices.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1606256887...ht_1241wt_1164 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1507666116...#ht_553wt_1164 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3209691103...#ht_999wt_1398 Is a lipo cell a lipo cell? Or is it definitely worth shelling out double this price for a good one. Same goes for the other items... Please, no badge snobbery here - is there really a difference? Thanks, Jimmy

Hi Jimmy
I have used some of the Turnigy stuff in a helicopter I had, I thought it performed well. You may have some issues using the equipment you have in your post though. The motor is not on the BRCA list so you could on use it at a club meeting. The lipo is again is not on the BRCA list and they are very large batteries so you might struggle to get the to fit in a car don't think they fit any 2wd's and most 4wd's, they are 31mm tall, the BRCA approved packs are normally 24-26mm from what I remember. As for the speedo it's sensorless you really should look for a sensored esc.

BRCA lists
Saddle pack battery list
http://www.brca.org/sites/default/fi...20v1%20pdf.pdf Motor lists http://www.brca.org/sites/default/fi...202010Dpdf.pdf http://www.brca.org/sites/default/fi...2I%20pdf_0.pdf I like the look of the HPI Lipo and it's not to expensive, if you are only going to be running one car you can get away with only having one pack of cells two is just nice to have. http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php...ck-40-7wh.html

I have say you would never notice the difference I've used LRP, Orion, Intellect, Demon and Track Power and I keep going back to the Intellect batteries and at 40ish quid you can't go wrong. I think I will be replacing them with the HPI plazma 95C shortly. You just need to look for a high C rating for more punch, 45-95C batteries give good punch.
What car are you thinking about? Only reason I ask is that some of the brushless speedo's are massive and you don't have much room to fit everything in the car. I'm running a LRP Sphere TC Competition in my Durango it's now 5-6 years old it's still going strong. Here's cheap setup that's brca legal http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Team-Wave-...ht_2726wt_1037 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intellect-...1#ht_500wt_923

Turnigy electrics aren't on the BRCA lists because there isn't an official importer to supply them to the BRCA for testing, and no distributor means they aren't commercially available in the UK which is one of the major criteria for making them BRCA legal.

Turnigy 6000mah 65-130C Nano-Tech stick pack, £250 for 6 from Hobbyking (including paying customs charge).
LRP 5900mah 65-130C (basically the same thing) £95 for ONE from the UK. I've had my Turnigy LiPos for about 12 months now, I can't detect any difference in the performance, they still balance up well when charging, I can't fault them. If you're looking for saddle packs I think the equivalent to my batteries are here: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ddle_Pack.html I'm sure the LRPs would perform just as well, after all they are the same battery with a blue case!!
