Hello, I am considering going lipo in my mini-lst/xray M18T and I saw a brand called e-tec here in Sweden. Are you guys familiar with their products? Do they make good quality stuff because they seem very cheap for what you´re getting. I was looking at a 1800mAh 7.4V pack from them and it did only cost like 29$ in Swedish money. It did have an amp draw of 14.5A(27A burst for 60 seconds) and
there´s my concern, is that enough to power these setups:
1.mini-lst+hyperion 6k+mamba25?
2. Xray M18T+losi mlst stock frenzy motor(1) using the stock mini-lst esc.
3.Xray M18T+hyperion 6k+mamba25 esc.
How is the performance of the E-tec compared to more known brands as TP, Kokam and polyquest? How long runtimes do you think I will be having with this setup?
Thanks in advance,
Rasmus

I am not familiar with this company, but I do have a pretty stout system in a heavy mini (mini inferno 1/16 size). I am running a feigao motor and mamba controller on 3s lipos that are rated at the same burst as your e-tec's. They handle it fine, barely heat up at all. My runtimes are about 15-20 minutes on 2000MaH batts.

Perfect! E-tec it is then.
