Malcolm,

I will try and find out what grease. I have asked sean but he just sent me some instead of telling me. My brother who makes transmitions for NHRA cars said the stuff shawn sent was called engine honey used in automobiles.

As for prices on my stuff it goes as follows

Hacker C50-14XL-$429
Hacker master 90-o- $439
Thunderpower 5s4p 5300- $320 for a 5s $640 for a complete flight set
2- thunderpower balancers $58 a piece
2-Astro 109's- $119 a piece
1 18amp power supply switching type with built in cooling fan-$59
1 honda EU1000I generator-$450 on ebay

Not having to clean your plane when done flying-PRICELESS! LOL J/K

I had to put that in there because it sounded like a mastercard commercial


I know it sucks about the 109 I just figured that out about a week before the Nats. Also I have found that with 2 10s packs and 4 chargers I can fly all day and really do not have any delay. The delays start when batteries are waiting to be charged. Verne Koester figured this out so instead of having 3 sets of batteries save the extra money for 2 more chargers and another powersupply and you will be able to fly all day. I have been witness to this as I only had 2 packs up until a week before the Nats when I got a third set. We could fly all day usually 3 people take a rotation at flying and I would never be waiting for batteries waiting to complete charge.

Also, like Chad said the figures keep up with a YS 160 burning a gallon of 23 dollar fuel every 6 flights. It is like anything else the initial cost is hight but if you figure these packs to last 500-800 cycles it saves you money.
