best deal on lipo out there right now?

[milonesmith]

Hi All,

I've been going for about two months on two 5Ah 20C turnigy 6S packs. All is well but I am looking for about another 5Ah or so. The prices seem to be up on the exact item I bought before, any advice on best deals right now? any coupon codes? they use to have the swarm sale option, has that gone away from HobbyKing?

Thanks for any info you all might share.
Jon

Sales happen rarely, a few times a year. Sometimes these packs will also go on flash sale.

This year there have been less sales, for sure. Ever since the 1 cent shipping thing happened for the USA warehouse. ( PS, update your profile to include your location; i'm assuming you're in the US but the probability is high that you aren't, and the deals are very reigional on hobbyking! )

You just have to keep an eye out on that site.

Money is always tight, but waiting for what you want, like less expensive 20c in the USA warehouse is a great deal for those in the USA. The 1 cent shipping is the bomb. And you get em fast.

Location added. I guess I'll just keep checking back with HobbyKing.

15C Zippy's are in USA stock this morning - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=16803

Based on my personal experience they're my favorite cheap 6S brick right now. 15C-20C is not a huge difference for eBike use.

If you see price around $52ea, wait on the page then try putting 'em in your cart and perhaps remove them, add to cart again - I did that and the price dropped to a little over $49ea...

Looks like 20c is also in stock.

grumble...I keep waiting hoping the little offer will pop up on the side with a bit knocked off the price, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

Anyone have a theory on what triggers it?

Have you ordered from 'em before? If so, are you logged in? 'sorry I'm not more help...

 

[milonesmith]

Interesting.

I logged out. Then did the add to cart (it was 51.80 or something) then removed. Then reloaded...waited...looked at post over here in another window...went back and the little "one time offer" showed up with 49.02.

When I was logged in it was 50.61 or something.

That 44 volt ten amp hour battery for 200$, that is a good deal with 1 cent shipping.

How do you get 1c shipping? Only shows my $16 or so for fed ex

Sorry guys, it appears the 1cent shipping is over. I just tried to get some lipo's and they gave me the better price but made it up in the shipping. USPS was $15.?? no more almost free shipping
