You can get these from this guy here in the states. It's called Black Dog RC and he's a heckuva guy to deal with. Check out how he rates these batteries. His prices are pretty close to Hobby City and I just order two of them and had them in two days!!!

And free shipping too!!!

nope and the tracking still just says left hong kong on the 5th... doesnt even show they made it to customs yet... ive already talked to hobby city and they said if they dont show up by 45 days then they put in for a investigation and if they dont show up within 5 from there they replace the batteries so hopefully i wont have any problems with it... they also said if they do show up and their dead because they have been sitting in a warehouse in the heat they would replace them... so i just gotta wait and c what happens... worst case i can file a dispute with paypal and get my money back since the tracking number proves they were never delivered

sounds like you're getting good service and communication with hobby city. good to remember. sucks you're out the batteries though. after that long i would probably give up on them.

you may be able to drink (legally) before they get there. just curious did hobby city say what they will do if they never show up? or is that where paypal steps in? sounds like hobby city is doing the right thing up to this point. just wonder how they handle missing shipments.

they told me if they don't show up within 45days they file a missing parcels report with hong kong post and if they don't show up within like 5 days of that they will ship me replacements... course by that time they will probably be on backorder so ill have to wait even longer but im going to make sure they ship the new ones express if it comes 2 that

I was told the Align connector is different but I don't have one to compare. Anyone charging a Zippy 6s on a TP-210? What adapter works?

I also ordered an Align-to-TP balance tap adapter to use with my Zippy 2200 packs and my TP205 balancer. Works great.

ok heres just me venting because im really pissed at hobbycity... i ordered 8 zippy 3 cell 3300s and they shipped out on july 5th. still haven't shown up, they told me after 45days they would open a investigation and it should take around 5 days after that. now their telling me it could take up to the end of septemper to even figure out what happened.... thats still no me getting my batteries. so i ordered batteries in mid june and they could MAYBE be here mid october... i feel like their just jerking me around and nobody wants to take responsibility for my parcel that went missing when they are the ones responsible for 360 bucks worth of batteries that never checked into american customs. they could be a little nicer and give me my money back or send me something to run in my heli instead of me having to wait around for them especially since 4 of them are for friends at my heli field... i really want to file a dispute with paypal but im afraid to because i dont want to buy expensive batteries lol... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why... i had a order before that that took 3 days and i ordered 2 450 batteries a week ago and they got here in 2 days... their obviously gone so they need 2 do something... anyway im venting, if i wasn't getting my trex 500 tomorrow i would go crazy on them

I ordered two 6s 3300 zippys and an icharger 106b from hobbycity. Two seperate orders one the express option and the other went the regular way. Had the express pack in 3 days and still waiting on the other. Been about 13 days since I ordered though mine at least says it came through jamaica ny

yea mine just said shipped on july 5th and nothing else. they opened a investigation so now i have to wait to hear back from them once they hear from the post office in hong kong which they said could be the end of august all i can do is wait i guess... kinda sucks because i got 2 other orders from them in 3 days each and it was great but these just had 2 vanish into thin air...
