Hi all,

I could use a little assistance with something.

I'm trying to compile a list of all the mainstream manufacturers for Batteries, BEC's, ESC's, and Electric Motors (long story). Unfortunately, I know precisely squat about the electric heli market, other than the very basics.

Would you guys do me a favor and list the major manufacturers for each category? For example, under Batteries, you'd have Duralite, Fromeco, Flight Power, Kokam, etc.. I know for Motors, you'd have Neu, Hacker, Mega, and Actro, but that's all I know.

It doesn't have to be the definitive list for everything ever made... I'm just looking for the names that 90% of people in the U.S. would ever use. Break it down into the 4 categories I mentioned if you would, please.

Thanks!

I would suggest you start by checking out some of the online retailers (ReadyHeli.com, RCHover.com, ModefosHeli.com) which will get you started.

Any special reason why you want to compile this list (have been thinking about this as well)?

To add to your list:

Batteries

Thunder Power
Align
Apex
Hyperion

Thanks, Ligblou. You mentioned some brands I hadn't thought of.

Someone spoke to me privately and gave me a link to a resource that was quite helpful. I think i have it covered now.
