Default Turnigy Batteries

Does anyone have experience with Turnigy li-po batteries?

I am looking at buying a couple 1300mAh packs for $21.00 each.

I have used them ALOT and have nothing against them. I have the 1300 and it is a great battery. I have also used alot of Zippy and Rhino batterys and they are all very worth the buy. They hold up just as good as the TP and last just as long. Then when one does go bad which I have never had happen you still have the money to buy 2 mor for the price that you would have payed for 1 TP.

Hello,
I'm using 6 lipos 1300mA 11.1V 20/30C from HobbyKing in a small P51 : very good for the value. I will order two 25C packs when they will be in stock.
