Forgot to add that the one area that cheap Hong Kong gear seems to fall down on is Lipos. I'm not totally sure why this is, but they do seem disappointing in this area. Far too many stories of misrepresented packs (capacities nowhere near stated, supposedly 30C packs that struggle to deliver 15C etc) and no real saving on the more reputable brands (Kokam, Intellect) means that you are better off with locally sourced Lipos.

Case to point I have 2 sets of Trakpower 3200 20C saddles, and a set of Yeah Racing 5000 25C saddles. The Trakpowers run my 4.5t just fine, though it near drains them flat in a race, but the supposedly superior Yeah Racings can't cope at all and are now religated to practice use only.
