Title: Thunder Power Lipos?
Post by: Russell Bond on July 22, 2011, 07:02:01 AM

Hi all,
I was thinking about trying some Thunder Power Lipos instead of the cheaper Turnigys that I have been using to see if they last a bit longer.

I see they are available at rclipos.com at a reasonable price.

Are these batteries good quality and has anybody dealt with rclipos.com, or is there a company you could recommend that sends to Australia, please?

I have been using the Turnigy Nanotech 3300mah 4s batteries but I have had some where one cell has become a bit weak.
Because they are cheap I just dispose of them and buy some more. maybe it's time for better quality... #^

My flying partner and I have found the Rhino packs also available from Hobby City are considerably higher quality and last longer. Not available in as many sizes and they tend to be longer packs so measure and weigh before ordering. I have no experience with the current Thunder Tigers. Arrowinds have been very good.

RCLipos is where I got my T.P. Pro Lite batteries.  The TP Pro Lite batteries are light and powerful.  Their website touts 600 cycles.  RCLipos are good guys.

Russ,
You may also want to try looking on the Atlanta Hobby site (http://www.atlantahobby.com/store/pc/home.asp). You can order them with the Deans plugs installed if you want.

Best,        DennisT

Thanks very much.
The Rhinos are a bit heavy for what I need, I have used them with sucsess though. ...    ;D
