In terms of batteries, I've had good luck with HRB packs. They're not quite the cheapest out there, but I've never had one go bad in a way that threatened a plane or to light on fire. Maybe it's just luck, but I've had some more expensive packs from Admiral and Eflite (never one of the more recent Smart batteries - those things seem to be amazing if pricey - but some of the older ones with the special UMX connector) that completely stopped working in flight or suddenly puffed up on the charger with no warning.

It's probably because of the tariffs.

Never - I mostly used more brand name packs until 4 or 5 years ago when I mostly switched to HRBs - I've also used Ovonics for some smaller packs which worked fined and Socokin packs which were really cheap and good 5 years ago but more recently they've died extremely quickly.

CNHL is a more known brand it seems like in the quad world.....I have not had very good luck ovonics....Even though the C rating was more on my last ovonic it kept dipping lower voltage than my lower c turnigy...So far my Tattu R-line is doing well....I am also trying Coddar brand batteries....

I noticed Turnigy has come out with a new line of batteries....I wonder if they are better than the older one as they are more expensive.:unsure:
