Team USA competes and wins at the World Championship title against a field represented by over 30 countries.

The Academy of Model Aeronautics International Modeling Center hosted the 2011 FAI F3A World Championship competition where the World’s top RC aerobatic/pattern pilots competed for the honors of World Champion. Team USA was represented by Team Manager Albert Glenn and competitors Andrew Jesky, Chip Hyde and Brett Wickizer. These pilots qualified at the USA Nationals competition by finishing in the top four places to represent the USA. Two of the USA team members, Jesky and Hyde, piloted electric models powered by Thunder Power RC Pro Lite 25C series batteries during both the USA Nationals and F3A World Championships.

The FAI F3A class of competition demands the utmost skill and precision as pilots perform complex, aerial maneuvers ranging in varying difficulty of K-factor. Eighty-seven pilots from over 30 countries competed during four rounds of rigorous competition in temperatures measuring upwards of 150 degrees Fahrenheit off of the runway. The preliminary results had thirty of the 87 pilots moving on to the semi-finals. All of the Team USA and many pilots powered by Thunder Power RC moved on to the semi-finals. During the semi-finals the top thirty completed an additional 4 flights for the opportunity to make the finals. The finals were represented by the top ten pilots. Six of the top ten pilots were flying electric powered aircraft. Four of the six electric pilots in the top ten relied on Thunder Power RC to power their competitive flights. Congratulations to the top ten pilots representing their respective countries and Team Thunder Power RC: Wolfgang Matt, Stefan Kaiser, Chip Hyde and Andrew Jesky.

After many rounds of grueling competition, Thunder Power RC comes out on top as the power of choice for the World Championship Team USA with pilots Andrew Jesky and Chip Hyde. Thunder Power RC was the power behind the top placing electric pilots in the individual class of competition with both Jesky and Hyde. Andrew Jesky took home the bronze in the individual class of competition with Chip Hyde finishing 4th overall. Thunder Power RC is proud to be the power behind the majority of the top ten electric pilots in the F3A World Championships. The number of electric-powered entries continues to grow and so does the number of pilots relying on Thunder Power RC. #1 in Performance and Reliability, the most trusted and winning LiPo battery ever used in national and world wide competition comes from the Thunder Power RC!

Do you want to increase your Traxxas E-Revo VXL’s performance with lithium polymer (Li-Po) batteries? We’ve road tested a selection of high end Thunder Power RC Li-Pos that will work out of the box with the E-Revo VXL, including a setup that gives it way too much power to reasonably control.

Please note: the Traxxas E-Revo VXL features dual battery bays which gives you the option of running two Li-Po packs in parallel for increased runtime. You must not wire them in series, or you might damage / destroy the batteries and speed controller. You can use this Deans wire harness to safely run Li-Po batteries in parallel.

Economy Setup – 1 or 2 (parallel) x TP-1750-2SP45

At the time of writing, we only have a few of these generation 4 batteries left in stock. If you want to give your E-Revo VXL a boost in performance for a very modest cost, you can pick up one or two of these G4 batteries.

Mid Range Setup – 1 or 2 (parallel) x TP1300-2SPP65

A pair of TP1300-2SPP65 Li-Po batteries will provide an ample boost in power over the stock NiMh batteries. You can use either one pack alone or two packs wired in parallel. Running two packs in parallel will give a more noticeable increase in performance because the voltage drop under load will be less. Using two packs will also double the runtime.

Insane Setup – 1 or 2 (parallel)  x TP1300-3SPP45

One or two TP1300-3SPP45 Li-Po batteries will provide more power than most drivers can reasonably control. You will have to be extremely careful with the trigger if you run these packs, as the E-Revo VXL will flip over with all but the slightest touch on the gas. If you’re interested in having more power than you’ll ever need, you can run either one of these packs or two in parallel.
