Looking for a bit of advice re batts.

Having a look on ebay and have seen seriously cheap 7.4V 5000mAh 30C 2 Cell packs.

Whats the difference (if any) to the likes of the branded stuff with similar stats?

Above is the ones I found.

Cheers lads,

dont think these are hardcased,which is a bit of a sefety issue(easily punctured) and pretty sure the club doesnt allow them.positive the rccaoi doesnt.performance wise honestly couldnt say

I bought a new pack of REEDY 4200 35C Lipos and 2 packs of UNBRANDED 5300 40C Lipos from Hong Kong through Ebay.

Straight away the Reedys are much punchier.
First pack of cheap cells died after a month.
Second pack now has cracked case and is loosing punch after 3 months.

I'll only buy reedy cells from now on.
