11 Smile ...LiPos ordered - feeling a little queasy
Just bought 6 of these bad boys Big Grin:

5000 Mah 6S1P LiPos


Delivered to me at a total cost of $343 Mickey Mouse dollars Huh...

Thats £219 in english Rolleyes

Thats £36.50 per battery Sleepy - which is very CHEAP compared with some makes & what prices used to be...

BUT having said that - i do feel a little sick for spending £220 on lipo batteries... going to ly down in a darkend room for a day or two Undecided

Will let you know how i get on with HK & The Turnigy LiPos...

What are you intending to power with that lot!

6 of them, the most packs I normally have for one model is 3 Huh
Too bad stupid isn't painful.

I'm converting my car to run on electric - after just 1 week it will have paid for itself!


Nah - the batteries are for the "Package" as seen in the other thread...

I've decided to sell off all my models - and have just this one... hence why i've bought more than the usual number of batteries for it - esp this size of battery!

Jeeze Fuels getting expensive is it not!

5 litres for £30
Or
5 Amp Lipo £36


Will certainly be cheaper in the long run!

...I think electric power is finally becomming a REAL rival to IC now... Not just an alternative power source.

Of course... IC will always have a Cult following... at least while fuel is attainable.

30 size planes and 500 size helis it's been pretty viable for a while but I'd not realised how well it can now compare in the .50 size class.

Flew convincingly for 5 minutes, did not need any negative pitch dialed in..came down with authority.....Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin

Aye - the development is pretty good - i just wish my skills developed as quickly haha
I just thought - the £30 for fuel doesnt include delivery charges... so the lipos may be cheaper than a gallon of fuel IF ur not collecting lol.
