you can also get adapter cards form FMA direct.

Seriously, my buddy and I were both in shock to go through their checkout and find out that they seriously charge almost $24 to ship this tiny Multi 4 charger. WOW. No thanks. I'll get mine at WrongwayRC.com. He's honest.

Yeah and enjoy their little shipping charge scam? Like $54 for a charger and $24 to ship it? Man that's criminal.

FMA recently changed their business model again and will once more offer retailers a wholesale pricing structure and their warehousing/distribution is going overseas where their stuff is manufactured. So that's why the nasty shipping charge, not any attempt to be unscrupulous with their pricing. I suspect that you'll see more retailers starting to sell their stuff than what is currently available, but there might be some backlash from those guys who remember when FMA pulled all those agreements and went direct to the public.
I like their stuff, but we'll have to see how well the new business strategy works out as I don't see myself buying from someone where the item is shipped from the Far East vs. the USA's East Coast.

RE: Help A123 connector
Hey guys
I managed to get Tom (Wildhare RC) on the phone and he set me up within 1 minute. Tom is considered to be like a celebrity from where I am from, and likely many other places..[8D] It was a pleasure to chat and a simple task to straighten this out.
I took the red to red, black to black and took the outside black (facing sliding tab) to white and my cell pro charger charged it in no time. Please correct me if I wrote this wrong.
I was even able to get 2 long flights in last night during a perfect sunset. Used about 450mah with 5x5955's and a 645. About the same as before the battery swap. My last Tanic pack went to safe charge after 2-3 flights and showed about a 10% reserve...[X(] It also went thru a helluva crash and was left dead for 5 months..It had to be tossed.
As far as FMA direct, they have been good to me. Last order was 1.5 years ago though. Not sure what is happening lately...

And the implication is that FMA isn't honest Joe??????
