LiPo Shootout – Price Comparison
LiPo Shootout – Price Comparison Test
Perhaps the single most important category of the test, and one would think that price would be the easiest to judge, but think again. Whenever possible, we used the price off of Tower Hobbies, as Tower tends to set the “street price” for most products. When a battery was not listed on Tower, we resorted to Google. The prices we list below are our best shot at listing a true street price as of July 2009.

| 1 | SMC Lightning Volts 5000 20c | $69.99 |
| 2 | True RC True RC 5000 | $75.00 |
