Hi,
I just want to say a big thanks! For my recent order, it was shipped super-fast to my USA address and then forwarded to me here in New Zealand in just over a week!! It was packaged perfectly and as a bonus there was more material in one of the packets than normal. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from Radical RC and will be recommending your site to others. Keep up the good work!!
Many Thanks
Jarrad Scott, New Zealand
Hey Dave. I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with my shipment. It was the charging cable for JR/Spektrum batteries. It was not only packed incredibly well, but it got here in just a few days for only $3 in shipping. Thank you very much and I can honestly say I do plan on doing business with you again as well as recommending you to all of the guys in the RC club! I hope you have many great days ahead of you 🙂
Sincerely, Daron 3-17-13
Re: 2700mah
“I bought (2) 2700mah NIMH batteries from you two weeks ago for my 40% Edge540. Since it is filled with 8411’s all over the plane, I was concerned the batteries would have enough endurance. With a 5.7V regulator, I am getting 6-7 flights per day and flying all weekend on one charge. I can’t get the same performance from my 2400mah Duralites.

Re: (3800RX packs)
“Hi Dave this is Bruce Swartfager I flew my 35% staudacher yesterday with the 3800 metal pack and it flew great no trim adjustments just couldn’t have done any better. It has Brison 6.4 twin up front and did it sing I am excited as you can tell. I figured up how many oz. of torque i am running and it comes in at 1250 oz. That is a lot and so the question of metal packs not providing enough amps is a myth. I have 612 oz. alone on the wings of torque. Just thought i would pass this on thanks Bruce will looking forward to the Orbit charger. Later Bruce, Altoona Iowa
(Most are flying the 2700 in this application but the 3800 works great too where you want a little extra capacity or nose weight).”

Re: (RRC-300 packs)
“Dave, Hi, I picked up a 7-cell pack of 300 mAh NiMHs from you at the SWAC, back in May. You asked me to let you know how they worked out.
THEY ARE FABULOUS !!!
Light weight, powerful, and getting better with every cycle. I’m currently using them in a GWS Tiger Moth powered by a GWS DX-A and
GWS 9 X 7 prop. Perfect combination!
I’ll be ordering some more packs soon.
Thanks a lot.
Happy flying,
Gary”
