I run these in my 8ight E 3.0 with a Tekin Gen 2 and a 1900kv motor, they have plenty of punch and can make well over 10 minutes. Couldn't be happier and can't beat the price!

Good battery for about six months, one cell wouldn't take a charge until finally puffed the pack.

Batteries were good till five months! The power leads detached itself from the cell rendering the fully charged lipo useless! one battery shorted out and catched on fire. My hooby king lipos outlast theses for much cheaper price. I will absolutely never buy ECO brand lipos again. Sorry A MAIN HOBBIES.

EcoPower "Electron" 4S 35C Hard Case LiPo Battery (14.8V/4100mAh)(ROAR Approved)
Excellent battery! I'm using this in my RC8.2e and it really doesn't feel like a 4100mah pack. I use Reedy Wolfpack saddles as well and these stack up at around half the price. It is also quite a light 4s pack (due to lower capacity) so if you do use a car with a layout similar to the RC8.2e you might notice a slight difference in handling. Perfect for the bashing enthusiasts out there - not sure how they would stack up for racers.
superb battery especially for the price. Going to order more at a later date!

Bought two of these to run in my RC8.2e and they charge and run fantastic for the price. I have a few $100+ Orion saddle packs and the quality of the product is really no different and for most 35c is plenty. I will definitely be buying more of these in the future and highly recommend them to others who don't need top echelon race spec lipo's.

EcoPower "Electron" 4S 35C Hard Case LiPo Battery (14.8V/4100mAh)(ROAR Approved)
Just wanna say thanks to Amain for the great service. I bought this battery back in december. It has been great. I havent had any problems. Great power. I have ran it about 10 or so times at the track. So far so good. Also cant complain about the price for sure. However i decided to buy another about 2 mos. ago. Well i used it about 4 times. I discharged it to 50 %. Which i found out was wrong. I let it set up for a couple of weeks. 2 cells dropped to 1.77. So i did call amain and they told me no problem. We will take care of it. No hassel at all. They have me a new one on the way. Im new at this, but i thought they were very decent on my mistake. Thanks again Amain.

Great battery, running with a 2100 kv 1/8 motor I get no heat issues or puffing. Plenty of run time, I'm buying 2 more.

UPDATE
I only got about a month out of one battery before the balance leads pulled off the tabs and I had to carefully open the case to re solder them.

I've probably had around 7 of these, and they are the only batteries I use. I run 1900 - 2100 kv motors with the correct gearing and on-track driving, so correct setup is crucial for longevity. The current set I am using have 2 seasons on them and still running strong. No complaints.

Pros:
Very light
Great punch (seems higher than 35c)
Long life

Cons:
Need more $40 sales for these!

This pack was terrible, it performed well for the first three to four runs, then the pack had a bad cell. I had the two packs go bad, due to a dead cell in each. I have these turning a Mugen MBX7-r and I had no other issues except that the pack lasted only two practice days!!! Don't buy these, stuck with two 50 dollar paper weights!

****Update****
A Main sticks by their products and refunded me my money on these batteries. Buy with confidence here on A Main, they've got your back!

I purchased 2 of these batteries when they went on sale to try them out, so far I am very happy with the batteries considering the price I paid for them. I am ran a few charges through them and have found them very good so far, if the go on sale for the same price I paid I will buy more if they go on sale at a even lower price I will probably buy several more. hint hint.. ;-) thanks Amain another winner so far
Update Aug 2015.....
These batteries have proven themselves I have run them now for months and they have had countless charging cycles through them (sometimes at much higher charge rates than is recommended. ....well most of the them..lol)
I have ZERO problems with these batteries except they have not gone on sale again at the price I paid for them, but when they do I will definitely more...Great Batteries enough power to have tons of fun bashing but not so much power to break things and ruin your day...love these bats!

Best value to quality 4s lipo anyone could buy ... In fact better than some other 3 digit expensive lipo brands that puffed .. This one is now over a year charging and discharging and I never notice any changes in it's parameters , nor it's shape . Highly recommended .

I have had 1 of these for a year, with 0 problems. Decent performance (punch/runtime), easily making 7 and 10 min quals/mains with warmup laps. For $50 you cannot pass on it; even if you have a $150 battery, get this as a practice/backup. I just bought another!

Good priced 4S Lipo. I use these in my starter boxes and have never had any issues. Have never tried them in a car, so I can't comment on that, but they provide plenty of juice for use in a starter box.

Cannot beat these batteries for the price. I have probably 20 cycles in each of them. Puffed alittle but some electrical tape and bam. good to go. And as for the 35c rating it feels way higher. I get a good 10 minutes of good hard racing or practice out of these batteries. Also love the lower profile they fit my mp9e perfectly. Great battery for heats. I run a Gen2 Rx8 with a Tekin 1900kv. I think the key to these batteries is nice fat soldering connections and at least 10awg lead connecting wire. I made mine about 8 inches long. Seems to work great.

Absolutely awesome! Dropped one of these in a rc8.2e and loving the weight equality!!!! No more heavy side. This buggy handles fantastic. I'm running a tekin rx8 and a tekin gen 2 1900kv motor and reporting 14 minute run times easy! This is the answer to the rc8.2e. The price is right too. Don't let the 35c rating scare you off they perform as good as anything else on the market. Save your money!!!!!!! Weight bias is everything. If your running 5000 mah packs your too heavy for this buggy. I'm weighing in at 7.8 lbs with this battery. Thanks

I bought this for bashing a retired 8.2e racer and help train newbies in late 2015. It's 2018 and its puffed it's final breath. The battery is a workhorse well worth the price. Still can't believe how long this battery lasted after the abuse it received. It did take some finagling in the last few months of it's life to keep all 4 cells reaching 4.1, but cell #4 finally bit the dust. The hard case grew by about an 3/4 inch and never split. respect.

Only lasted for 4 runs before the wire came undone from the cells. Poor quality of a battery and was a waste of money. If you want a budget battery go somewhere else.
