Just got mine today (2) 4s 5000, what are those clowns in shipping thinking ???

Mine were wrapped in thin bubble wrap and stuffed into old heli canopys and shipped FedEx in a envelope/bag. No damage to lipos but the potential is was high ???

FYI, I seriously beleive these Lipos are reshrinked HC lipos ??


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Looking at the pictures, that was my initial thoughts. They are being mass produced by 1 mfg and each company is repackaging them. Like the ESC HC sells. I've seen them under 3-5 different names.

Good to know if true, since Turnigy's kick some ass. Now we don't have to pay outrageous HC shipping costs!!

However, their C ratings are slightly different.

Mine were in a box wrapped individually then inside the fedex bag. All was okay though, just like yours. I worked for UPS I have seen what loaders do to packages especially in the airbays. I am always grateful when anything comes through any of the carriers in good repair.

Quick update, I have about just shy of 10 cycles through each pack now and they are holding well. I do recommend trimming off some of the shrink wrap around the wire exit to let the leads flex. I was out bashing, and on one of the packs the heat shrink cut a nice size hole into the silicone on the leads wire. Pain in the butt to remove the connecter to throw some heat shrink over it.
