Skippy you edited your post but it's still readable above. If you want to claim something, at least don't make up facts. I agree with Sessholvlaru the battery packs powering my 150mph jet work perfectly fine. They cost a quarter of anything from my local hobby shop. I always get the song and dance routine at my LHS to the point I don't want to go in. "Such and such packs are crap because they are from Hobbyking so buy my $200+ battery from this LHS even though the same and better pack is about $45.99 from HK".

It gets downright annoying and I don't even consider going in anymore. Nobody has half the stock and they always have to order it in anyhow. Not to mention I caught one shop here simply rebranding HK packs as their own.

Do buy from HK

1)Accessories
2)Some batteries
3)Foamy Kits

Do not buy from HK

1)Anything large that can be damaged in shipping
2)Anything needed to go into something ultra high end
3)Anything that you might need customer service on

Why can't people figure this out?
