We can certainly get that simulator. Should I add it to the cart?

@ rajjames

If you set your location as 'India' and open any battery page, the options 'Buy it now' and 'Add to cart' are both grayed out (can not be clicked). However, if you set the location as 'US', they become active again. No airline wants to take the risk of LiPo batteries.

Those who fly planes and large multirotors or even high efficent medium size multirotors, we could import 18650 with IMR chemistry, the same kind used in Tesla cars and power tools. You could then make it from 1s to 12s and  1p to 6p the combinations is endless.
Not to mention people who use them in flashlights,e-cig etc.

Consistently all those long duration flight time youtube videos where all done with 18650 packs.These are much safer and is designed to operate as high as 70 degree C temperature (damage occurs at 100c temperature) and discharge as low as 2.5v without damage.They don't Puff.

Now there are even bigger sizes 21700 which can dicharge as high as 40a with capacity of 3000mah.The same size is going to be used in Tesla Model 3 and newer model S.

So anyone willing to look at this option via sea route.

That's the thing. Not a lot of people fly heavy and efficient setups. More and more people are turning to racing quads and indoor micro quads. So, importing a large quantity of 18650 via sea won't seem viable to any LHS.

I'd like to request Indian stores to import LiPos via sea or land as there seems to be a huge demand right now.

please add the previous item the  mavic props in hk order

@ manojswizera

Done! 

Wow, that charger has such great features for such a low price! I'm gonna get one myself now!

yes that cherger is small, and i read some good reviews for it.

Get just receivers come. without issue ?
like this one

https://www.banggood.com/FrSky-V8FR-II-2_4G-8CH-Receiver-HV-Version-p-69051.html?rmmds=category

We can ask them to label the receiver package as 'computer accessories'. I did that with a 433MHz long range system once and it arrived without any issues. Also, the receiver will be a small package so they won't check it.

Should I add it too?

Not one single LHS seems interested in importing Graphene batteries, I guess they don't want to sell batteries that can take a beating or last for several hundred charge/discharge cycles.

@ hellfire

The problem is that sellers can't ship them to India due to restrictions.

Good news guys, HobbyKing just gave me a 5% coupon (without price limits) for delaying one of my recent orders! 
Hope we can take maximum advantage of it!

Also, we still have about 130 grams left in our shipping category (301g - 500g). 

Add a wattmeter

Okey replace it with banggood wattmeter. And thanks

Dear All,
As a wholesale customer we can get lipos from Hobbyking as well from any other manufacturer.
As you know there is a risk in storing the lipos as well performance doubt from the buyers if it is old.
We have established a exclusive website for lipos http://www.rchlipos.com but ended up with dead stock.
It is not possible to stock many lipos without understanding your need.

Also, in the below post I explained LHS situation and condition remains same.

Fpv racing quads are getting more and more powerful and the only batteries that can take abuse are graphene based ones, they also hold really good IR even after a year or more.

People who buy something like a 6s 10000mah or more pack, those batteries cost a lot, again graphene based ones are still better. Neither a customer nor a seller don't want batteries to puff for no reason, in storage.

The other option is to use 18650/21700 which have all kinds of use from RC,flashlights,e-cigurates,power banks,cordless power tools,laptops, EV conversions you name it.

Some of my 18650 batteries are 7 years old and they still work great, albiet with a loss of 30% capacity.

Kumaran sir, would it be possible for you to import LiPos if the following conditions are met?
1) We first create a list here based on which LiPos we need.
2) The list has a large enough quantity of LiPos to make it viable for you to import them.

Edited after suggestion from 'hellfire'.

@ manojswizera

Your receiver can be safely imported.

Guys please avoid discussion publicly regarding changing description of invoice.

Banggood has small stuff and accessories like MG servos, XT 60 and jst connectors, propellers, LEDs etc. at really low prices. The prices for sets of 3, 5 and 10 such items are even lower. Maybe we can get such sets together and then divide them among ourselves according to our requirements.

The lists so far:

Banggood:
1) ISDT-SC-608 charger (manojswizera)
2) FrSky-V8FR-II-2 (manojswizera)
3) G.T.Power 150A Watt Meter (tictoc21)


HobbyKing:
1) DJI Mavic - 8330 Folding Propellers (manojswizera)

I have a 5% HK coupon guys, get some more stuff from there!
