hi all,
i have 2 packs for sale. i bought the packs new from Bobby at the beginning of July. i flew them 3 times before i went on vacation July 20 and 2 times since i came back Aug 12. i only used the packs 3 times before vacation because the balancer adapter hadn't arrived yet. the last two charges have been with the balancer as the adapter came while i was away.
i have a couple of pairs of TP 8000 prolites which i fly mostly but wanted to try something different.
the reason i am selling them is the capacity is just too small for my style of flying. i use a timer everytime i fly and with these packs its set for 4 minutes. my flying style is big and open manouevers as i can't do aggressive 3D on the deck. i like to practice rolling circles, inverted backwards stuff etc.... but these aren't power hungry manoeuvers. to be honest i couldn't tell much difference between the EVO 3700's and my good ole TP 8000 bricks. the weight savings is significant but with the Actro 32-3 the ion has so much power i couldn't tell much improvement. the thing i noticed the most is the damn timer would go off too quickly.
i just can't fly like Markus Kim :( with his style of flying where there are lots of aggressive direction changes then i'm sure the lighter packs would be a big benefit, but for me practicing chaos's 100 feet up, i just don't see the benefit. the limited flying time is too annoying for me. annoying enough that i want to off load the packs.
i recently got a CBA and if the buyer wanted i could run a cycle and send the graphic, just to ensure the quality of the packs. if needed.
i paid Bobby $420 US for the packs and the two balancers which fit the TP205 balancer.
i'll off load the packs and the balancer adapters for $320 US but buyer pays shipping. i think this is fair as the packs are basically brand new. i live in Canada.
i'll take a $100 dollar hit and call it lesson learned. i'd post a picture but you all know what they look like.
if some one wants to trade i'm open too. if someone has a pair of used but NOT BEATEN TP 8000 prolites they want to trade let me know :)
