  • Ordering lipo's from HK

    Has anyone ordered any lipo's from Hobbyking HK recently? Are there currently any restrictions on posting lipo's via airmail/EMS?

    I'm getting two options for postage on hobbyking website, EMS Express & Singpost air parcel, both around the same price. Any idea which is better?

    Cheers

    Dont bother with EMS. Due to the lipo restrictions they get shipped somewhere else first (cant remember where), so it takes the same time as air mail.

    make sure you make the value come to around $23 to try to get past customs.

            Cheers, is Singpost air parcel tracked? it says EMS is but no info on Singpost air parcel. Don't really want to order from HK but can't seem to get the nanotech's anywhere else!

              Dont get Nanotechs! They are terrible packs.

              I normally just go for International Air Mail.

                Nanotechs seems to always get a bad feedback, be sure you really want them before ordering !

                  I'm not that bothered whether I have standard Turnigy's or nanotech's, the nanotech's seem to be a bit smaller that's all. I may just wait until the standard Turnigy lipo's I want come back in stock in the Hobbyking Germany warehouse.
