[NSRCA-discussion] Neu gearbox

[Larry]

I got mine direct from Enerland as evaluation packs for field testing.

As far as I know, the only retail source so far is thru Brian at Tanic 
Packs.

http://www.tanicpacks.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=78&osCsid=1cd60458e3bd2908f9edd6937beaf3a4

A 5S1P pack is $310.00 I think, so $620.00 for 10S

If you are on a budget - Yesterday I got 2 new 5S2P 4000 15C packs from 
CommonsenceRC.

http://www.commonsenserc.com/index.php?cPath=37_43

Look under "Big packs"

Same exact weight (within a few grams) as the 5000 packs. Two of them 
stacked is the same height and width, but a little longer than two of the 
5000 packs end to end. Less capacity and lower max amp draw, BUT they are 
only $196.00 per 5S2P pack for a total of $392. But I think they are still 
on sale at 20% off plus free shipping? That gets you down to $313.00 for the 
10S2P pack.

Half of the Tanic cost. These should easily do my current power level and 
some more and not cause me any CG change issues or mounting issues.

The only thing about Commonsence RC packs I don't like is the balance tap. I 
change all my big packs over to TP taps or use adaptors so I can charge with 
the TP1010/210 combo.
