Default Sky Lipos any good? UPDATE INSIDE!

Ran across these guys while googling around. Price looks nice but I can't find any reviews about them. Any one know?

hobbypartz.com/sky.html

UPDATE........

Finally had a chance to try out the two that I got. First off one was DOA. Cell1=1.15V Cell2=2.37V Cell3=3.8mv (yes millivolts). I'll contact Hobbypartz on monday about getting a replacement.

As for the second Lipo its works fine. Each cell out of the box was 3.89V and charged quickly and without problem. Performance was fine and on par with your average Lipo. Maybe not a 3D monster but enough for a sport putt-putt flyer like me.

Over all I'm happy with them aside from the DOA Lipo but it happens. Warehouse is in the States (California) so it only took a few days to get unlike my other Lipos from Chine that took 4-6 weeks. Downside was having to put on my own Deans but no big deal.

I would like to know the same thing. And is the company selling them, (Hobbypartz.com) reliable?

Well, bit the bullet and ordered a couple of the 2200/3s/11.1v/25c. figured it was worth trying out and it has free shipping. I'll let everyone know how they do.
