| kwa,
We are consider International in HobbyKing warehouse, not the USA ones. Also, this charger only comes with the XT connector and the battery uses 4mm bullet so you will need to get a adapter. To complicate things a little bit more, all the Heng Long uses Tamiya connectors.......

| If we are international then that changes things a bit. I can go for the charger Dean recommended but have to find a different battery. I thought the site said canada ships from the west goast warehouse. _____________________________________________ HL Panther G, HL Early Tiger I

| Sorry kwa, I think we can order from USA and International warehouse. You just can't mix them in the same order. I usually just order from the International one. |

| as long as you dont buy lipos from hobbyking shipping shouldn't be that bad. they up the shipping cost for lipos because it may "catch fire" during delivery so they mark it on the delivery order what it is and then UPS adds there fee _____________________________________________ I do things in the name of science but first hold my beer

| I was looking at the hobbyking site and after shipping and exchange and lipo fee a $21 battery turns into an easy $75. |

| Do you actually get 8.4v from this ? Any issue with over voltage on the Clark board ? I know that I had some issue with freshly charged 2S lipo and have kill a board because of that (well at least that's what Clark and I think). Freshly charged 2S lipo can get up to 8.4v as well.
I personally found lipo lasts much longer in actual usage than NiMH, but I am always using cheap NiMHs so I can't really say how good they are if they are legit.
The other time I need lipo is actually in the packaging. I can get a much smaller form factor with the same capacity. |

| Oh, crap that is a 7 cell. DONT BUY THAT... not good for our tanks. I didn't notice that I'm sorry.. I have the 6 cell versions. Mathematically 5000mah will give you the exact same run time no matter what type of battery... 1 AMP of power should last 5 hours. Now if the NiMH cells are crap, well, maybe not _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT
