I have to disagree with you when you say the only place they're really needed is helicopters and jets. My kraton 8s says otherwise. I just had to return some cheap lipo because I couldn't even full throttle without it cutting out.Just to clear it up a bit lol, I didnt say they were the best, but imo best budget batteries. Not sure where you live dude but that same battery gets to me on the 15th and a Hoovo 5000's get to me on the 14th. Throughout my couple decades messing with lipo's I've had bad and good of all brands so in a car or truck whats the point of spending what the car is worth on a battery lol. I even build and repair packs.
Now lolol, I also never said I don't use good batteries either, Just IMO a car/truck forum isn't really where or when I'd need them. You know when you need them - and its not in any of my arrma's but maybe a few high end peoples speed run cars that have a arrma roller but not stock arrma electonics. Where you need them is in a big Helicopter or Jet lol, the actual pinnacle of RC, end game of rc. Or a drone that weighs almost nothing and pulls 220amps when you do a punch out. I can drain a 5000 in a heli in a couple minutes, you better believe I got pulse's and other brands running in those. Also I do run smc and cnhl in my drones, not heli's. I just don't feel cars and trucks are worth it was my whole point. This data would be more relevant on a forum of high end rc's such as helifreak.
So here I am on a car/truck forum, so im giving my opinion about cars and trucks and the majority of what people do here. And sorry this just isnt a big deal to 90% of people here and they will buy the brands i listed. WHY, because they are cheap, and fast to get and available to by. I think my point was lost here but thats ok. Cars and Trucks are small time RC stuff. The pinnacle of RC will always be Heli's.

Even for the Arrma 6s rigs, I don't have stock electronics in any of my 20+ Arrma rigs. Sure, my zee batteries "work" in my 6s rigs and if I didn't know any better and was ignorant, I would probably be happy with them.
The moment you try another brand and see the difference in punch there is no going back though. I haven't even used my zee's in almost a year because why? all my other batteries perform better. If I know I can get more punch by spending a few extra dollars I'm doing it.
