Anyone ever ran A123 cells on there Gaui 425?
just as topic says anyone ran A123's in there Gaui 425? I am really thinking about buying one but i still get worried with lipos in helis when they crash and get damages with A123 there no worries of fires and stuff, I already have lots of cells so thats not a issue with price with them as some have pointed out .
I know about cheap lipos from hobby king but like to fly better well known brands Thanks I was thinking maybe the Typhoon Hobbyking motor its 1800kv with 6 cell A123's or 7 cell if needed. Thanks

I know that pihrana and a few others have, but with their birds in 550 form. I think A123's would work, just may be a little heavy for the 425 size. heck if you got em already, give it a rip and see what you think.

Makes a driffrence in what motor to use with them or lipo so that only thing, you can not get away with same motor with lipo vs A123 in many things.

I guess as long as you get the volts the same (or close) you could use the same motor. e.g 6s lipo = 7s A123 and so on.

well if you need a 3 cell lipo you need 4S A123 and i think 4s lipo 5s A123 but up over that it gets harder to figure out I belive. I have had one 6 cell setup in one plane before.
