Apparently you folks that went to IRCHA got to see these in action.

Whaddya think?

What is new about them ?

Not sure I saw them but I did see the Mikado pilots RIPPING it up on Logo's with the FP batts.... talk about POWER. Personally I think the Logo's dominated IRCHA in the electric category!

Dangit Bob, stop it! Must....put....away.....credit card....
I've been lusting over those things ever since the first IRCHA vid showed up here on the Freak.
What really appeals to me is how all the electronics are safely tucked away inside the frame.

I told honey I needed another chopper and she just got this evil gleam in her eye, glanced at my gun case, and said I'd better sleep with one eye open.

Women.Sheesh.

What is new about them ?

Well, if you follow the link, it says:

Features:
No break-in period required.
More robust than previous version
Maintains a higher voltage throughout discharge cycles than previous version.
Offering 50% more cycles.
It sounds interesting, but I wonder whether there's a weight difference. TP's own website doesn't list them, either.

I am very suprised to see that TP is sticking with 25c packs when Flightpower and others have gone to 30c.

BTW the new FP 30c packs are awesome!

Well according to my handy dandy Bantam multi meter tacho thingie I'll probably never need a pack capable of a 30C discharge but it's great they provide one for you hardcore 3d guys.
The stupid bug antenna wire will keep me away from 'em though.
Anyway I've seen a few posts where people aren't getting very good life out of their TP's so maybe these will remedy the problem-and they're still priced the same as the old packs!

FP seems to be the bees knees so why change a good thing, for me the FPs are less expensive than the TPs so for me it makes sense to stick with FP. If their good enough for finless :noteworthytheir good enough for me! Ha Ha

[warpspeed]

Really? Link please!
They'd have to be pretty darn cheap-just picked up a pair @ Grand for $269 ea.

I get a discount at my work so a link would do you no good.
