<div> Chris Moon and I have bought the new TrueRC 5000 packs. He has been testing them for the last 2 months. They seem as strong if not stronger than his FP 5350 pack. The cost is only $110 a 5S pack. I've bought 4 packs and I'm hoping that they are as good as initial testing has shown. I also have 2 brand new TP V2 Extreme 10S 5000 packs. All the packs at the 10S configuration weigh in around 42oz's with all the connectors.</div> <div> The True RC packs have a lower C rating but this may be a good thing. The higher C ratings seem to come at the cost of lower pack life. Look at the TP Pro lite's many have exceeded the 200 cycle barrier and still have a decent pack. The TP Extreme's V1's were dying in 50 flights and I have yet to see much better than a hundred flights from the FP's. From my observation the older TP Prolites deliver plenty of power for our setups. So I think the TrueRC offerings are going to do the trick. Dan from True is claiming over 200 cycles
on them. I hope that I can get 100. At the $'s he's getting it will be a huge bargain.

2008 6:58:32 PM<BR>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Batteries<BR><BR>Hi George,<BR>I'm in the same situation and have decided to go with the FlightPower <BR>5350's. Even when the 5300's were fresh, I occasionally felt like I could <BR>use a little more punch, particularly on humid or windy days. I've competed <BR>with a number of guys that had both the TP 5300's and FP 5350's who would <BR>switch to the 5350's when they needed the extra power. My plan is to use the <BR>FP 5350's and change props for different conditions. Nothing is free however <BR>and you'll pick up 2 ounces in the process. I considered the 5000 mah 10S <BR>packs from both TP and FP but can't afford to gain 4 ounces in either of my <BR>existing planes. The FP 5350's are the best solution for my situation. Mine <BR>just arrived this week and won't be flown until the snow melts so my <BR>recommendations come from observations rather than experience at this point. <BR>I bought mine directly from
FlightPower <A href="http://www.flightpower.com/" target=_blank>http://www.flightpower.com</A> . Hope <BR>this helps.<BR><BR>Verne Koester<BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: <<A href="mailto:glmiller3@suddenlink.net" ymailto="mailto:glmiller3@suddenlink.net">glmiller3@suddenlink.net</A>><BR>To: "NSRCA List" <<A href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" ymailto="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A>><BR>Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 12:26 PM<BR>Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Batteries<BR><BR><BR>> Hi All,<BR>><BR>> I've been flying with Thunder Power Prolite 5300 packs for a while now and <BR>> they are getting very tired.
