Re: where are the best-"Shipped" lipo deals now???

Hobbyking is shipping regular airmail again for Lipo's. Just ordered 4 2200 3S 35C Compact Zippys on Dec 23 and recieved them yesterday. Shipping was $20.99 with some other items on the order just under 1KG.

I just did a test, 1 x 350mah 2s lipo @ $3.95 shipped to Victoriaville Qc from their US warehouse= $14.99. Its still a ripoff.
I think the problem is shipping to Canada. Its cheaper to buy here at AMR or at our LHS.

if you happen to have some 2S or 3S 500 mah lipos sitting around you could pull them open and make your own - IF the dimensions are similar to the QX.

Just a thought.

Re: where are the best-"Shipped" lipo deals now???

Thanks for all your replies guys! Had a chance to checkout all the sites and although some of the prices seem pretty good, no one seems to have any 1s 500-600 mah batteries. I was thinking about buying the blade 180 QX HD , but of course it needs batteries I don't have. I have soooo many batteries its starting to get out of hand. I just hope we can find some good suppliers with reasonable shipping! Keep adding to the list if you know of any more companies that will ship reasonably to/in Canada!

I was just gawking around their site. Prices look pretty good really.

never happen John. Most batteries are manufactured where environmental laws are lax or non-existent. Remember Union Carbide in Bhopal, India? When buying from Hobby Partz, your shipping costs from the Philippines are already built in. Then you pay again. The best deal would to be able to buy from a reputable company in Indonesia and ship directly - someday, hopefully. Have you tried Revolectrix? shipped direct - fast and reasonably priced - good quality.
