Great post on the batterys and comp of Thunder power vs Turnegy . I am new to eflight been in fuel for years .I entered into eflight because I can now afford eflight with tunregy and could never ever afford it with Thunder Power . I fly in the 70" plus range so my batterys need to be bigger = more expensive .
i am not anti American , I am a simple hobbiest trying to spread my dollar . In the case of Thunder Power there may be a true reason to use them from power , safty and longjevity but after two years , my Turnegy work great and better yet , the dont even drop power after 30 days of being fully charged (as we know not recommended ) but at times I charge , get to the field , weather turns bad , I get home and hit the road for work and leave them charged and they will hold every bit of power .

I wont get into the economics and America , a simple imbalance of any American conversation can be seen on any given day at Walmart . Demographics of a Walmart customer is combined household income of $21,000 , amount of Walmart products from China ?? take a look , outside of consumables over 80% , in seasonal candy for Xmas, Val and Easter probably over 40% , what does this tell you ?
The same guy/girl who is out of work from the American assembly line , is shopping and supporting one of the places that imports more then any other retailer in the USA .
I am not blaming Walmart , Sam was a brilliant man with a true American dream , demand for low price , better value price wars starts with the consumer , we are to blame and nobody else,
For the record , Target is trying to go Anti China , but they still are not pro America just look at there stores, now they are Mexico , Chilli and so on lol , so they can say , no China .

Trust me Nitro has cleaned up there act , you dont have to buy from them its America . I can tell you this , I have now tried Orange Spectrum Receivers for $12 vs $80 , medal gear servos for $9 vs $25 all from China and they all work and work very very well .
So do i need customer servace over in the States not at 60% and above mark up .
Same theory on Thunder Power , are they better , you bet they are but they are not 75% better and they dont last 75% longer .
No offence , just my humble opinion
