Complete Newbie battery and charger stuff...

Yes, you can select it to ship from the US. If they could ship to me here in Alaska, they would be able to ship to you in NY. Turnigy batteries are really good...it makes many other brands seem like a ripoff.

Duh, now I see how you can ship from USA. They're outta stock now but supposedly they will alert me via email when they become available. I can wait.

Thanks guys

I'm sure there are other turnigy 3s available from HK in the USA.

Just use the lipo finder I linked to.

Thanks for the link bro but at this point I think I'm staying with NiMH at this point after reading other posts above and my own gut feeling on the topic. If my son takes to the hobby and I join (fingers are crossed, on my Christmas wish list) him, then we will likely switch over to LiPo.

Thanks for all your help.

Glad to help.

BTW You might suggest to Santa that s/he make a quick stop over at Towerhobbies.com before midnight since they still have their $199 Redcat Gen7 Sport for $145 shipped!

Those batteries run my Scx10 for about 90 minutes,

That's pretty impressive. I remember when I used to race, the challenge was getting 5 minutes of run time from the old nicads..that's how long it's been since I've been in this stuff..

Got Turnigy battery. Love it. Ordered another for my own rig that my wife got me for Christmas. Can't beat the price for a reliable, high capacity battery.
