1-Bringing back the "battery pack FAQ"
2-Pictures of the different balance plugs in case peeps have no clue what they have??

Just saying.....

It's on the sight, pics of each kind of plug. You get to choose the kind you get. Just picked up 3 myself..

I would like to know if the 600 mah are coming back? Thanks

Probably wont be bringing those back in. Since many folks started taking their business to hobby king and hobby partz on price... We havent been able to turn these over as quickly. So it hasnt made much sense.

Kind of the crappy part of all the big discount chains. Makes people make their buying choice mainly on price. If I had a nickel for every person who said "well hobby king sells the same size for x dollars", I would be retired! Even when we explain that we will offer a better product and better customer service, they still dont care. So it becomes hard to bring in product and hope it sells. Gets kind of old hearing "well hobby king sells..."

Well, HobbyPartz fawked me on my last order............and I just placed one with CBP.


BTW, any chance that you guys are gonna start selling the 450's as 2S packs?

[Chris_The_Battery_Man]

Excellent! Good to have ya back

Were killing it in the NIMH scene anyhow, so were not too torn up about the lipo scene. We DO have a better supplier for lipos, with competitive pricing, but we are really waiting to make the move strategically.

Back in the day, we used to have the best prices on the market, and the best quality. But of that all went away a couple years back

[Charlie-III]

Hi Chris...... I've commented on the "CBP FAQ" before....I used to link it all the time when peeps had questions regarding LiPO stuff (mainly).

I have bought from CBP for quite a few years, used to be NiCD, then NiMH now it's LiPO.

Yes, I can get "brand X" packs for less, but I have only had a single (?) issue with CBP packs. I chalked that up to "operator error".

I have commented before, that for the "standard shipping" I have "multiple times" ordered from CBP early Friday and had packs at home the NEXT Monday is great.
Having my own pack connectors (Anderson PowerPoles/Sermos) and balance plugs for no additional cost was great for me.
Since I have multiple rigs & I "fund" my son (when will it stop???!!!) this is a great benefit.

I'm willing to pay a little more for:
Great product
Great service
Great shipping
FAQ info




[No I'm not sponsored by Chris or CBP, I pay whatever is on the site like most of us do.]

Well, HobbyPartz has jacked up their prices (and never have anything in stock) and the folks at HobbyKing haven't been helpful every time I've asked them questions so I'll stick with ordering stuff from folks like you and others on the site. It does cost more, but at least we can bust your balls when we have problems

Yeah, I have been running nano tech for the past year. Decided it was time to step up my battery game an run what a vendor has.
I found a sick 600 mah 3s.. But keeping my source till I see if they are worth passing on.. I would be up for half dozen from CBP, if you can do small orders.. I just wish the C rating was higher on the 450.. Maybe it's not needed? But the HK 450 wouldn't keep up, an die out, during recovery attempts.. Any known situation like that with these? (I run 14t HH puller motors, if it makes a diff)

[Charlie-III]

Just placed an order to "07456".

Sucks, you don't have Anderson Powerpole connectors listed anymore...

Hope these work with my Venom ProCharger, I believe "JST" balance port.

If all goes well, I order today, likely in NJ Monday.

Thanks Chris.

Any news on the 4s packs?
Loving my 3s and was hoping to have the 4s for this weekends comp..

[winnerone23]

Still checking my mail box for my 3s.. :/

Last I looked, mine had not shipped yet. Not usual for CBP.

Checked again, still not shipped.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade here but for us folks living elsewhere in the world HK offers a good product (in terms of batteries) at a reasonable shipping rate. When it comes to buying a 2s or 3s small mah battery worth $6-10 I just can't give a toss about customer service.

Some things are better left unsaid...

[Charlie-III]

Over a week later, not shipped yet & the site states "out of stock" now.

Not what I'm used to from CBP. At least I still have my other CBP packs to use.

edit.....sounds like more of these are on the way to CBP.......

Sorry for all the delays guys. Please read my original post above, as we put them on the site ahead of time.... anticipating their quick arrival. We put em in stock when we were told "they shipped" because its generally only a few days to our door VIA EMS.

Unfortunately the Chinese are on their spring festival or something like that. It took a few days for us to even get a response this last week and our contact only said he was pretty sure it shipped before the break, but had no tracking to give us because he was at home. But we have had factories say they shipped something in the past, but never did, and then dodged emails until they ACTUALLY did. So I sure hope thats not the case here.

It should have been here and all orders shipped by now. But without a tracking # to see where its at, were kind of stuck in the water until we have one.

They have always had super fast shipping in the past so we anticipated that. So sorry people for the delays. Wasnt something we were anticipating at all. If you have any questions, PM me and I will be happy to answer them.

here is some info although it is now april ?

2013 Spring Festival falls on February 10. The holiday in China starts from February 9 to 15, 2013. This year is the Year of the Snake according to Chinese zodiac. Welcome to China and explore the traditional folk customs of this grand feast!

[Charlie-III]

Chris, for me & my son, not a real issue as we have other CBP packs to use that work well.

Sorry if I pissed off Mike or you, didn't mean to.

Have a nice rest of your weekend, looking forward to the packs when they ship.

[Charlie-III]

My order shipped yesterday, should be here by the end of the week (based on past USPS shipments).

Thanks to Chris & Mike. Looking forward to the order arriving.

Yep, received an email early this am, USPS so reasonably sure they will be here this week.
You can also pull up your order at CBP.
I'm assuming you'll be at Palmerton??
