Not sure where you got the idea is no longer available.

Futaba is now doing all US sales and service through their Huntsville, AL location

As far as using lipos with older 72MHz systems that was not advised. And is 14.8 volts a typo?? Even with 2.4 a 2S lipo system (8.4 volts full charge) would be the max.
