I would think a mattress full of $20 bills would keep him up with all the crinkling...

it reality, i would think their profit margin would be higher. considering turnigy cells are higher quality (thought not matched all that well), and much, much cheaper, i would estimate brand p's profit to be more like 500-600%


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

As much as it kills me to say it that is still the cheapest solution for a 24V 1000W PS that I know of. At least as far as plug and play is concerned. Making one your self would save you a few pennies but I can't see most people out there mucking about with AC mains power.
The only other offering I know of that is plug and play/use is the 24V 1000W Mean Well PS that is more than twice the price that MA are charging. I would get MA PS but something about owning electrical appliances that have flames painted on them really bothers me. Don't know why.

I saw it at Ihobby... I barley resisted the urge to grab a alligator clip lead and yell "hey watch this!!"


BTW Ihobby sucked this year
I got there at 1pm and people were already packing up and leaving
alot of the big RC man. were not there
only 4-5 of the shady Chinese booths(last year there were 10-15 of them)
not much free stuff, no lanyards, etc. the best thing I saw was at the speed passion both, and they were bl motor plugs....

talked to mike a bit, but he was busy with other people, and the MA 150c packs in his cars made me want to...
