If you don't have a credit card and you TT (wire transfer funds) or prepay by check or money order, just don't shop online until you're in a better place financially .
Lipo's have been the direct cause of 2 fatal freight aircraft crashes.

As much as we like to hate govt, I really don't blame them for trying to regulate a proven killer, I doubt you would want your family flying on a plane full of lipo's.

Sounds like Lipo's are holding up order fulfillment from Hobbyking.

I would bet the lipos that caused the crashes were the ones powering the planes electronics that some bean counter demanded the builders of the planes use cheaper, lower rated batteries.

Cool! Your our new distributor! We will all gladly pay 3% plus shipping to assure we get our products.LOL! Your lucky being located there. I like the Aspec lipos but hate mail ordering anything and avoid it whenever possible. But 35 dollars for a battery with the performance of a 80 dollar battery is a great deal.
