batteries/flight pack question
So what batteries are you guys running? I just slid 2 5200mah packs from my 550 into my new build,I have to say she feels a little heavy!
I was going to order 5000mah packs but now I'm looking at 4500's... not sure if there will be much weight difference though?! Also, what about c rating? I guess with series packs you may be able to get away with a slightly lower rating? If anyone has any input/advice I would be interested to hear... |

For 5000mah packs, anything 30c and over is going to be fine for most people. For that size of pack, it's a sustained discharge rate of 150amps, which is some way clear of what the other components are using.
Yes if you do hardcore smack/live somewhere really hot etc etc, a higher c rating would be nice to have, but for most people it's fine.

did you get the Turnigy 5000mAh 6S 35C packs?
I use them, they fit well and fly great. It gets hot where I am too, if you mount your ESC up front I recommend cutting a vent hole in your canopy for airflow over the ESC. It helps mine a lot. I can post pics if you want.

I've been flying the Spyder batteries from Progressive RC and love them. Great packs with true 30C rating and the weight is good, but with a powerful heli like this one, weight is not a huge issue, IMHO!
I have both, the one continues 12S 5300mAh pack and the individual 2x6S 5300mAh packs. Both fit perfectly. I have charged them at max output of 30A from the charger without any problems. Friend of mine has flown on his Avant Aurora 700E the same packs for two and a half seasons and the packs still pull stumps. Great price too. http://www.progressiverc.com/spyderb...00mah-30c.html http://www.progressiverc.com/spyder-...00mah-30c.html

Yeah... sure, it would be great if you could post some pictures. I did the first couple of set up flights today and the ESC came down hot, and that was with no canopy on. |
