Happened to be in the LHS asking a few questions when two flightpower reps came in. After some discussion they broke out a couple of the new trakpower lipos. The new 5400 2s is exactly the same size as the old 2s 4900pack. The 3s 540 is a decent sized pack, but quite light and has a std balance tap and a pair of fixed leads with the trx plug on the end.

I also had a look at the v balancer (the gold one for the trakpower packs), identical to the std v balancer that I have.

He also showed me their replacement packs for the blade cx2 and 400 helis. Good price on both packs.

I had a decent discussion with him about cell matching and pack construction. They did not give me an indepth description of the matching process, but it sounded like they had the knowledge and equipment to do it right. They use enerland cells, as we all know, but they do all of the matching and construction themselves.

Back to the trakpowers, and possibly all other flightpower lipos. He mentioned that they have a 90 day, no questions asked, replacement policy, and they will give 50% off the new price if the pack fails inside of the first year, again, no questions asked. This sounds pretty good to me, 3 times longer than some other lipo suppliers.

Both guys seemed very knowledgeable, and I mentioned this forum and our use of the flightpower packs in large vehicles. Both guys seemed very interested in this, and they seemed to think that they will offer more hard cased lipos in the future.

I also got a hat and tee-shirt out of the deal, and got the LHS owner to sign up as a Flightpower dealer. This is great news for me, as she will usually hook me up with a good price on certain things, just to help me out! I do go over to the lhs often, and am allowed behind the counter. I have also sold stuff to other customers and fixed cars so I am kind of like free labor!

It was good to meet these guys, they seemed like real rc enthusiasts (both had quite a few electric helis) and very down to earth. Plus they were very happy with the products they represented and were happy to hear of the success we are having with electric conversions.
