Hate to bring up old issues...but here goes.

I took some of you guys advice and sent my Team Orion 90c 6500mah lipo that was bad after 5 charges. Paid shipping, wrote nice courteous note.

Response I got back was pretty funny....lipo's are only covered when there is a manuf defect...so are they are saying I ruined the lipo? hmmmm

Next they offered a one time exception....20% off new lipo. So I get a new one for $109 instead of $137. They also cannot return my battery due to shipping hazard. (Cost me $7 insured to ship)

I guess I'll buy another one for $109 and hope it lasts more than 5 charges..heck then I can send it in and maybe twist their arm for another GREAT 20% deal. Let's all buy more Orion lipo's....lmao

Pretty fed up with the piss poor CS we get in this hobby. Not all the time I know, but damn. When you send in a brand new lipo and get this kind of run around. Kinda gets under my skin...especially when some of you have gotten new ones mailed back. It must be a yes/no type of warranty deal.

I will look very close at WHO I'm buying from, from now on. When we spend thousands of dollars on this stuff, you'd expect a little bit more. Guess not.

Or Venom...at least they have a legit warranty. Nano's are what I run now.

Let's think a bit...Nano's are what $30, Team Orion was $137. Is there gold in the Orion? Man, I was dumb. Lesson learned I guess.

Did that already...this is after I was told on phone. "too bad".
It's an old story...prob back 100 pages by now.

I'll leave it at that...I'm sure most don't want to hear my complaining.

Some Hk packs Are approved, Its up to Hobby king to submit packs for approval and they'll surely get it. It's a matter of Sheer request, If the customer wants it, Im sure they would follow suite on the Nano's.

Well it's weird because I had a Orion 6500 blow up on its first charge. I called Horizon and I had a new one two days later. Horizon CS has always treated me right when I have any problems at all.
