Hey have you guys heard? A123 systems is filing bank ruptsy after receiving more than $350M in US Gov grants (free money), plus more than $150M in tax breaks for their research and development group (more free money). I was shocked when I heard this on Fox News this evening. They were awarded the number one battery developer/designer in the USA for advanced technology used in many of their automobile applications. I do not know how this will trickle down through their R/C section, but things are not looking good for them right now. Just wanted to share the latest news.
