You' ve got a private message KillerDave

Yeah
This is a very good deal.

I bought 2 x ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 3S 30C from HK. Same quality with more capacity, but more expensive

2 sets is a minimum to start

I bought the new SPEKTRUM DX2S DSM in USA, only 155 € shipping included

[Alfa Spirit]

Sorry

[Alfa Spirit]

I' ve got the new Spektrum from USA. I' m happy

[Alfa Spirit]

I share with you my experience about Spektrum' s charge jack:
There is a serial resistor with the battery box that’ s why it is not possible to use a delta peak charger
A constant voltage charger is necessary but an intelligent charger won’ t work
I' ll get an external batteries box with banana plugs
Nothing about this in the user' s manual ......

That is a fine line up of lipos there.
I have not used the black ones on the right but can comment well on the Zippy and Turnighy packs.
I have used PQ, Flightpower, Rhino, Zippy and Turnigy
I will not buy another pack unless it is Turnigy.
I can elaborate but this is not the thread to do it in so I will save my other opinions for the battery related threads.

Go with the Turnigy from what you have there.

Hello alfa spirit,
nice material you got, almost completed,
did you progress on the hull?

[Alfa Spirit]

Yes I will show you the cat' when paint will be finished.
I replaced straight water nipples with 90° model M5 threaded not easy to find, that' s better

Looks like you've got a nice thrust bearing in front of the drive dog. If so, where did you get it? Very clean looking prop nut too!

[Alfa Spirit]

I don' t remember where the thrust bearing come from. This is made of inox
