If you shop for awhile, or attempt to check out, a special offer for the club will pop up most of the time (for $9.99 instead of $19.99). Renewing is usually $9.99 as well.

Last of the stuff I need to finish up should arrive today. Hopefully I can get everything built tonight so I can take it out for the first drive before the weather turns ugly tomorrow.

BTW, those Protek 2S LiPos for my kiddo's 1/16 Revo are a huge step up from the Orion 7.2V NiMH batteries! He had a little trouble controlling it when the batteries were fresh.

One other thing, Protek advised that the batteries should only be run down to 50% or so for the first 5 cycles. I've never heard of this, but I don't keep on top of everything. Any truth to this? Should I just cycle it 5 times on the charger?
