It looks like there is around 40 packs + whatever Glen wants - the dollar is up around 91 US cents just now, so we should take advantage of the exchange rate before the economy tanks again! I am up for a minimum 7 packs, might go 10 for a longer run time.

I wouldn't mind some packs too, after the details are worked out.

I think I just found out what I wanted to power with all those batteries:




Two of these will will cart around 90Kg and look prime for an all terrain bot Very Happy The RMP is selling them and they are obviously made by NPC.

http://www.evolutionmodeltechnology.com/ acualy are the guys who make them. just powered by NPC motor
i was eyeing this off 3 or 4 days ago but somehow can not justify the $2000+ for a set. (if you buy them directly from evolution model it seams to be cheaper if you buy both only abouut 60USD though) they also customise sizes a bit and often for free acording to the site which is cool.

If possible I still want 2 packs, will they be shipped from the us directly or do they come to australia first?

I dont think this is going to happen... A lot of the problem is the bulk distributors have to sign contracts stating they wont sell to OS customers. So having the units sent to a third party in the US it costs a crapload and then to have them all shipped back makes it totally not viable.

Most of the ebay sellers cant get them in quantities either.

Confused And how do we know this? Seems to me that people have already bought packs from ebay dealers, so some of them DO ship OS. The shipping restriction is probably due to the dealers not wanting the extra hassle of international freight - it is often not worth their time. I also doubt that all the dealers are limited to small quantities; how would they make decent money that way?

I just get all my US based ebay orders sent to my relative over there, then he just ships them to me when they all arrive Razz Cost me $40 last time to get my 2 x Dewalt packs, 2 x Daptors and bundle of anderson plugs all sent over.

I just shot of an email to hobbycity to see if they would like to do a bulk order on their cells at a better price... will be interesting to see what they do.
If they agree, the shipping alone would come down tonnes. Very Happy
