I have 2 of those and 4 gens ace 5300 30c and on light 3d, the power seems almost the same with the gens ace holding more power for the last minute or so. But there`s nothing wrong with the sky lipo`s. Bout 50 charges on the sky lipo`s with 0 issues

I run a 4200 35c Hyperion, and it flies great, but the pack puffs just a tad. My Turnigy 5000 40c puffs also. Once they cool, the swelling goes all the way down and they're back to normal. I have probably over 50 cycles on each. My best pack though is my Gens Ace 5300. No puff at all with about 30 cycles. My 600 puffs my Turnigy 5000 worse than my 550, but again, the Gens Ace won't puff. I thought the Gens Ace looked cheaply made compared to other lipos I've used, but if it keeps going without puffing, and if I can get 150+ cycles out of them..... I'll keep buying them. Just ordered another one last week when they came back in stock actually.

I recall that you are using two 3S packs.

Chris, are you also using two 3S?

I'm considering the 6S 6000mah packs
