Bought these batteries for check of a price. About $60 each... Then when they showed up I read the warranty and thought it was awesome!

You're supposed to put them IN the truck. Not drag them behind it 😆

Dude, seriously though, make sure you don't puncture a cell. Your rig could go poof 🔥

I actually was driving a WLtoys a949 around and the battery hopped out the car and I drifted a couple rounds dragging the battery lol
I didn't know about this

Effect: the battery plug came off, and both negative and positive wires got in touch and got smokey🥲
 
Oh come on now ... That's only personal opinion. Fact is...
I never said they wouldn't work. I simply said there are better quality budget lipos out there.

It's humorous that you made that statement like you knew it to be true. 🤣

I have 4 of that brand, all about 5 years old now also no issues. The C rating isn't accurate and they don't have the punch needed for racing, but the quality and durability make then perfect for bashing. I have a couple that are severely bent, dented and were taped back together, and that happened to them within the first couple of months of ownership. Still going strong after all the abuse. Awanfi is another cheap brand that has impressed me. Both have been far superior to the CNHL 120c race series batteries that I've owned.
 
Of the 3 that I've purchased, 1 lasted 4 charges then 1 cell died, another had a bad solder job and shorted out my new castle creations mmx esc, the 3rd just has a run time of about half the rated capacity when compared to 3 other brands of the same specs in the same vehicle. Three strikes.

You must have the world's worst luck then because I've owned at least 7 or 8 CNHL lipos and other than a couple of them lacking in performance, none of them were "bad". In fact out of the hundreds of LiPos I've owned less than 1% have ever had manufacturers defects.

Regardless though, you're talking about anecdotal evidence. The LiPo comparison thread talks about hard data that has been collected on 58 different makes and models of LiPos.

Just stating facts based on personal experience, not test results, as that isn't the point.
