Very unfortunate regarding Purolator, hopefully it's only a 'glitch'. I will try to found out.
Damn! ....if I knew this was going to happen, I would definitely have doubled up on my last lipo order.
Here's a link to the discussion regarding Hobbyking shipping: http://www.rccanada.ca/rccforum/show...90#post2260690

Unfortunately I didn't have the 4 way hex's, or the necessary smaller hex screw drivers, however I do have the rest of the necessary tools at home. It would have been a nice touch if Redcat supplied at least a couple of 4 way hex tools in the box like 'most' manufacturers do. With that said, I shouldn't complain at this price point.
As I mentioned earlier, I think I just might have purchased the last available one in Canada from a Redcat dealer in Barrie Ontario - Paid $340 CAD = $272 USD.(with the current abysmal exchange rate)

Thanks for the battery link - Looks like the perfect choice with 60C discharge rate and the higher 5000mah capacity. Anything more than this would probably be overkill.
With 5000mah I'm guessing one could expect to get 15 mins, perhaps a little more run time?
Did you have to remove the battery tray to accommodate the 5000mah lipos?
With the 3600mah stock batteries, there isn't that much space left in the compartment.

As yet, I haven't changed the bullet connectors. I probably will although! I'm just not sure if I will go with Deans connectors as the clones and authentic ones don't always connect very well together.
