I just wanted to add my 2 cents to this. I am an avid poster on several Paintball related forums, and most people that post these "pmed" post are asked to by the seller. Its a way of keeping track of who pmed you, when they did, and it keeps things a little more organized for the seller (I know that there is most of this info on the Private message but its just kind of double confirmation). I most generally will do it (not on this sight) to let the seller know that I am interested and so that if he has those notifcations turned off (Most people do to stop spam from every website they sign up for) its just another way he knows I am interested and to make sure it goes threw.

It doesn't matter ether way to me but that's what I have observed from other websites.


Edit: As far as posting that "I am offering $XX.XX amount for this item", I personally will never post how much I am offering in a public forum because all the next guy has to do is offer $1 - $5 more and most sellers will sell it to him just for the extra cash even though I am the one that offered first and would have most likely gotten the item.

Look on amazon. I've seen some there for a good price

I have but again, none that are unprotected

That's pretty sound advice. As for the voltmeter thing, I'd suggest you get a balancer for your batteries. Many chargers have them built in, now. The batteries will come with a second, smaller connecter with a bunch of wires connected to it. You plug the balancer into the smaller plug, and it should tell you the individual cell voltages, and then give you the option to "balance" them, or even them all out. This will vastly improve the lives of your batteries, and you'll be able to squeeze a little more power out of them.

HobbyKing is a good supplier, but their shipping can take a while. Tower Hobbies is incredibly overpriced, though they do sell nicer quality things for higher-end R/C models.

Thanks for the responses guys but atm I am just trying to find trustfire unprotected in the US. Trustfire sells a charger that is made to handle the unprotected but I can't get the batteries them selfs, threw customs.

Yeah, basically. You can get them from US suppliers, but you may spend a couple extra bucks going about it that way. I'd say that's worth it, but that's just my opinion.

Would U happen to have a link to a US supplier? I cant for the life off me find unprotected in the US.

Well, once the batteries start to die, you obviously want to replace them. Unprotected batteries should be fine, as long as you replace them when they get low. As for protected batteries, I have absolutely no idea. I use the LiPos for R/C airplanes, and the protection is built into the speed controller, in that case.

Ok and is it like any other battery when it goes dead? I know I am probably asking really newbish questions but these things arnt cheap and still not sure if I can get them into the US. So far one of there customer service people have said yes and another said no so sounds like its really iffy.
