I managed to snag a JHEMCU GHF411 Pro AIO from RDQ for 50% off, so even if I don’t get anything else I’m a happy camper. Dangerous operations. Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.

Ronin has been running a thread here: https://intofpv.com/t-goku-gn745-fans?pi...#pid159397 USA Stores and especially RDQ seem to be offering great deals. Nothing special in Australian stores for my liking. Seems to be literally a rip off here from an FPV perspective.

Never heard of them before. I found out about them here and they've been solid batteries for me. When not on sale other brands run about twice that and for flying them freestyle they're fairly equivalent to the tattu, RDQ, CHNL and Luminere 1300-1400s that I've run. One note that can be a positive and or negative. The balance leads are really short so if you wreck one you don't have a lot of room to repair. However because it's so short it's less likely got get torn up.

I’ve got a bunch of new 850mah 4s batteries, and a whole pile of 1s batteries. Hard to go wrong with 99 cent 1s batteries. I mean, unless they catch on fire or explode. Dangerous operations.

This latest batch of 6s 1300mah that came in from RCbattery.com came with longer balance leads than the batteries I've got from them in the past. • Posts: 4,073 Threads: 75 Likes Received: 2,548 in 1,858 posts Likes Given: 3,949 Joined: May 2021 Reputation: 121 (07-Dec-2021, 12:37 PM)sevro Wrote: This latest batch of 6s 1300mah that came in from RCbattery.com came with longer balance leads than the batteries I've got from them in the past. I didn’t measure, but on the 4s 850mah they look to be similar length to my CHNL 4s 850mah batteries. Basically, just long enough for me to safely strap down with a rubber band prior to strapping it onto a quad. Dangerous operations. Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.

I would have bought like 20 or 30 of them. I bought NBD Nitro Nectar x 4 pack for like $25. So $1 a lipo is well worth it regardless of the failure rate. • |
