Anybody with me? I hate shipping from hong kong and I want to run zippy's.

$25 shipping for me as I never bought from them, negates the savings entirely so I go Neu. If Mike had them and his reasonable shipping costs Id totally buy them

Mike has his own packs and I'm sure they're much better quality.

Zippy's are cheaper and nobody has complained of the quality. I will buy zippy, and I would rather buy from Mike.

lots are running zippys, an american distributor would be great

Mike is a shrewd business man, that is for sure. He always makes sure that his products are top notch, and the zippys may not have measured up for him. They do seem the best bet in the cheap lipo biz.

I just buy used polyrc, fp, and polyquest packs from the plane guys... Got a fp 4500 30c 6d pack with about 40 cycles on it for 100 bucks shipped recently. The pack looked almost brand new, and it has all the punch my new polyquest 4500 packs have. I like used stuff, thats how I can afford to keep 40 trucks...

hmm i too would like to see mike carry them.

If ther didnt meet his standards, id like to hear from him what failed, as i have not heard any complaints from zippy owners.

im with you guys...if RCM had zippies I would def. buy a few more.

Still with how expensive comparable "name brand" lipos the shipping you have to pay which is to in my opinion to expensive to ship from UH its definately cheaper than some other packs from USA distributers.

Zippy is a house brand from hobbycity. The price you see is the price that everybody can get them for. Buy 100 and they will give you a whopping 5% discount, maybe.

You gonna buy them from Mike at a higher price?

Honestly id rather. Also the 5% off and minus $20 shipping may make it worth his while. Im no math major and dont know the time cost involved but hey may be worth it. I simply wont buy from hobby city because of $25 shipping.

dirt101 · 12.15.2008, 07:27 PM

but what would they charge mike for 100 500g lipos(shipping wise)? thats 50kg, surely its going to be pricey, but I guess he could get slow shipping if he was to buy a large quanity and then he could just try to keep some in stock.

thephilonator · 12.15.2008, 09:18 PM

i agree with _paralysed_. Mike should carry Zippy lipo's. i really like zippys cause they're cheap but good and i'd definately buy more if mike had them because hobbycity/unitedhobby is in Hong Kong and Hong Kong is in China and the trustworthyness of Chinese culture has always been and always will be a bit iffy. and i'm Chinese myself so don't anybody start complaining about how they think i'm wrong and china is fabulous or whatever.
