Thunder Power RC Purchases Insane Foamies - A Popular 3D RC Airplane Manufacturer

Thunder Power RC Purchases InsaneFoamies.comOn August 20th it was announced that Thunder Power RC had purchased InsaneFoamies, a company which manufactures popular, high performance, 3D foam electric RC airplanes.

This move is the most recent step in Thunder Power RC’s campaign of product line expansions. ThunderPower RC started out with LiPo battery packs, then added a line of chargers and balancers, more recently adding a 3D electric RC helicopter line, and now the InsaneFoamies line of foam electric RC airplanes.

What does the future hold for ThunderPower RC? It should be safe to count on ThunderPower RC to continue to expand into other RC related product areas, and to continue to provide high quality items at a competitive price.

Thunder Power RC Now Ownes InsaneFoamies

The airplanes in the InsaneFoamies line include the Yak 54, Full Fuse Yak 54, Sypher, Extra, Minion, Edge, F3A, Katana, Solara, and the new Flying Giants.
