Well the SXmini M class is also using zinc and they can't get a paint to stick really well unless they used a process that is very expensive so the finish if not protected by JWrap or sleeve just goes to hell. I know I have 6 of them and I love em. But I also want to get 1 DNA200 and this particular one is the one that really interests me. Great looking and from what I understand great in the hand plus doesn't use the Lipo battery cells.
After pretty much a week I can confirm that this thing has 0 scratches. any of my other mods had scratches after a week. in my opinion a very durable finish.
and the battery sag. eh. I tested both my DIY DNA 200(2200mah turnigy nano) and the reuleaux. honestly battery sag was about 0.10 difference. in my testing. lets not forget that while lipos have less battery sag and technically stay at 3,7(per cell) longer they do take a huge divebomb.
after running the battery analyzer my 25r2s do have several wh more than my turnigy lipo. so my 18650s give more battery life even though they have more sag.
and that is with batteries that have been used for like 4-6 months. getting emptied and recharged every single day. so those are batteries that have had nearly 200 cycles in em.
man when I get my next paycheck I am so investing in some HG2s. I don't really need 6 of them since these old 25r2s already last me pretty much a whole day.
