GOOD NEWS! LiPo pack prices have been revised! They are now substantially cheaper. Hurry and purchase whilst stocks last!

We have introduced two new packs for the smaller aircraft - a 350mAh 20C 7.4V 2S pack and a 450mAh 25C 7.4V 2S pack. Ideal for indoor-type aircraft, and the 350mAh 2S pack is suitable for competition .

Shipments of LiPo Packs - As of August 2009, due to a change in Australia Post's Regulations, LiPo Packs or Cells (with some restrictions) can only be sent via Parcel Post (Road Transport Only). Whilst the facilities for Express Post & Airmail are still available on this website, they cannot be used if LiPo packs/cells are purchased. We regret that Australia Post does not permit us to send LiPo packs/cells to postal addresses within Australia that are serviced only by aircraft or to international destinations.

In respect to our LiPo battery business in Australia, we are at a disadvantage to those businesses operating offshore, as we have to pay duty and GST on the products which we import. More so now, as many of the products offered overseas, have improved in quality and in price.

We are also disadvantaged by the high cost in postal charges here, and have to compete with other countries where postal charges are much lower or are subsidised by the respective Governments in the countries in which they are based.

Be that as it may, we still have our customer service, and from what we have seen in respect to a well-known Web-based hobby business based in Hong Kong, customer service is virtually non-existence, especially when it comes to the repair or replacement of defective products. So customers beware, you may be able to buy it cheaper overseas, but in the long run, it may cost you much more.

Our 2500mAh 20C 7.4V 2S1P packsare a favourite amongst our customers that combined two or more packs in series, parallel or both to increase the capacity and/or voltage to suit their aircraft, whether it be a fixed or rotary winged aircraft. We can supply Deans Ultra Plugs in wired Series or Parallel.

We have stock of several sizes of genuine JST XH plugs (Male & Female) for those of you who need them. These are not yet advertisied in the catalogue on this website, but you can email or phone your enquiry or order in, and we'll attend to it promptly as always. We also carry T-Plugs (Deans Ultra-type), Deans Micro-type, and Multiplex-type Green Plugs.

As you may be aware, we are diversifying our product range, moving away from being a predominantly LiPo distributor/supplier to one with a wide range of products, both RC-related and completely unrelated. Some of the reasons for this are listed below, but this being a family company, we have other non-RC related business and interests, which we intend to place under the "umbrella" of the one company.

We import, supply or have manufactured overseas, mainly in China, a multitude of good quality products for the Corporate Gift & Promotional Items market in Australia. The products range from simple fridge magnets, cooler & sports bags, squeeze drink bottles, stubby holders, hats, caps, T-Shirts, Staff Uniforms & Clothing, Towels, Vinyl Banners & Advertising Signs, Printing of Corporate Brochures & Lab Record Books, Thermal Underwear and Adhesive "Glue" dots.

One of our reasons for going into the LiPo Battery business, was to offer our customers good service and "value for money" products as many suppliers out there were only concerned with making large profits. We believe the same applies to our other businesses too, and our philosophy to offer a good product at a reasonable price still stands. So keep tuned to the up and coming changes to this site.
