Just wanted to know where to buy FlightPower Pro 4s4p 8000 Slim battery pack in the States? I know you can buy them on-line from http://www.flightpower.co.uk but they cost £ 220.00 ($394.75 USD). I wanted to buy one from some where in the States so it would be cheaper. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

FlightPower is Thunder Power in the U.S. Here is their site:

Thank you for the link, but they don't sell the 4S4P Slim battery I'm looking for. The only place I've found that sells them are FlightPower in the UK. It's a couple of mm's smaller then the 4S4P's they normally sell, which is 50 mm wide. I need the ones that are 48 mm so I don't have to widen my Logo 10 frames.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

Patrick,

I think they carry the one you want. Here is a link to their search engine. Then type in the word "slim" and you'll find your battery. It's US $220.

It's okay Bob, I'm still looking myself. I wish they sold them for $220.00 USD, but they want £ 220.00 which is almost $400.00 USD. I might just have to buy the ThunderPower batteries and widen my Logo 10 frames.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

I found the batteries I was looking for. I talked to the guys at ThunderPower today and they said they will have some new LiPo batteries that are 45 mm wide and will at be a higher discharge rate then the standard 4S4P's they sell now. They are made especially for the Logo 10 frame. He said they will be available in the middle of next month from http://www.espritmodel.com/ Give them a call if you have any questions about them or exactly when they will be ready to ship. The will cost the same as they do now for the 4S4P's, which is $300.00 USD. Their phone number is 1-321-729-4287.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

Guys, the £220 4s4p Slim includes UK VAT at 17.5% - £187.23 without the VAT for export = $339 USD not nearly $400.

If you bought this online with us we would discount the VAT before charging your card.

The US$ exchange rate is extremely high at the moment hence the $39 but it's also a quality product that's available now.

I hope Mark can forgive me (as an advertiser) for posting this but I really would like to put a stop to the impression given by this thread that we are seriously overcharging - if you don't mind the pun. Anything bought inside the UK or EU has VAT added to it wether it originated inside or outside the EU (unlike shipping products interstate in the US). Actually anything imported into the UK/UK not only hasVAT added to it at customs and of course carriage and it also has customs duty added not only to the product but the carriage cost and generally a fee to DHL / UPS / Fedex etc for handling the customs duty and VAT on top of all that.

Cheers!

Your not missing anything here. The guy from ThunderPower told me that they are comming out with a slim battery for the Logo 10 which is 45mm instead of the 50mm now. He also said it was going to have a higher discharge rate then the batteries their selling now which will give you more flight time. I pre-ordered mine so I will make sure I get the batteries I need when they come out next month. If you want some, I suggest you pre-order yours too or they will be sold out when they get their shipment in.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

Well respect you're missing two points.

One is that we do not aim to market our product to the States we are primarily UK and EU based. Our cost efficiency is to our advantage within these boundaries. Anything else is distance selling.

The second is that you are comparing a current product with a future product. We offer an exceptionally high quality product *currently available* anywhere in the world



This pack is structurally excellent, pushed and matched and tested to deliver 8200mAH total capacity (bench) 8 Ah flyable in a heli with performance available to land normally.

We will continue our tradition of producing packs to this standard primarily for the UK and EU with the new generation of 10C+ cells that are coming in the next few weeks. Pre-ordering is not an option but thats just a matter of stye - we will sell 10C packs when we can ship them same day.
