Thunder Power RC News July 6, 2007
Charlie Wang, CEO and Founder of Thunder Power RC saw a vision to bringing a new generation of high power batteries to the hobby industry. In 2003, Thunder Power was the first company to market Lithium Polymer batteries on a wide scale distribution for hobby planes and helicopters.
Within the first two years of operation, Charlie established the Lithium Polymer battery as the standard in the hobby industry for electric planes and helicopters. During this two year period, the best and most successful hobby industry pilots switched to Thunder Power batteries because of the incredible power they delivered during flight.
By 2005, the industry embraced the new batteries and Thunder Power instantly became the world wide leader in supplying Lithium Polymer batteries for planes and helicopters. Pilots who previously flew gas planes began switching to electric. The growth of the market began a rapid expansion due to newly discovered power that Lithium Polymer batteries produced. In 2006 Charlie introduced the eXtreme Series which ushered a new era of Lithium Polymer battery power.
In 2007, Thunder Power Batteries changed their name to Thunder Power RC to better represent the company’s expanded product line. Thunder Power RC launched a line of ESC’s with a revolutionary new feature that includes a battery monitoring system. The company will be adding several new and exciting products this year that will be launched at IRCHA and Ihobby.
Thunder Power RC will be moving into their new 32,000 sq. ft. Las Vegas office-warehouse facility later this year. All operations including marketing, sales, R&D, tech support, battery assembly and an indoor test flight environment will be housed in this spacious facility.
