Haha it's BS mate don't worry about him.
(Also remember all prices are in Aussie dollars, where $1UAD = $0.7USD)

Not really in Australia, that price is at the higher end of a RTR TT-01, but still not that crazy.
Most things cost about 20-30% MORE here than they do in the US, just because they can. People still buy it.

RE: electric nos
Not very much, I was doing this today with my MQ and 3 large super-caps (many times that size) give a useful runtime of ~1 minute with no battery, see thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5285397/tm.htm . Even if it is the very best supercap technology it will only give you more than a second or two and with the weight it adds you are better off just getting a better battery.

RE: electric nos
oh yea! I feel so silly for not having of thought of that. Will a crappy radio shack 60watt soldering iron be sufficent to able to solder wires to the cell? Just to tell you how crappy it is, it takes around 5-10 seconds for it to able to heat a wire hot enough to melt the solder. its not instant.

RE: electric nos
Lunchboxer was just saying how andrew could charge them because his charger only does 4-7 cells......
How do you charge those LB, Im guessing you have some shorted deans to plug into one end while the other end goes to the charger/whatever?
