[stunks]

after about 3 hrs i have finish setting up the system here are some pics

Some people have had problems tie wrapping the cables so close to the beast x unit but you will only know when you test it

[spiderspid]

I had problems on the velo 50 but with a bit of fiddling I got it right , may be worth moving the closer tie wrap an inch further down the loom

would also consider getting a bigger rx lipo, the BeastX with Align servos seems very power hungry on my 700

Couple chaps at our field haven't notice any change in battery consumption but still worth checking the battery after each flight also keep heli close by for first couple flights as the beastx default settings can make the heli very docile.

With the same lipo on my Vision Comp 50 fitted with the Beast x, the LED's are showing red after two flights. I wouldn't risk it on a 700, unless you are charging at the field, I think that lipo is a bit on the small size.

[spiderspid]

Re the lipo , what I found was before I re routed my wires the lipo life was poor , since moving things around my lipo life has improved which leads me to think that with any vibes etc the beast is having to work harder and so using a lot more power, I could be wrong but hey it worked for me

Are they on Nitro or BEC's off their flight packs. On a standard setup depending on what servos you use you can expect to see 600mah used per flight. At least I do.

I can assure you battery consumption is reduced using the BeastX specially using 8v Jim.

I started a thread some time back regarding this subject, Do not be caught out.

BeastX is a hungry unit, Check out this thread.

Sure is power hungry I run a 3600 mah lipo on my velo 50 with the beastx it really is better to be safe than sorry I had a 2150 to begin with and the velo fell out the sky mid way through the second flight on that pack and that was not running a beastx really for a 50 machine I would say 3000 min and 4000 for a 90 machine :0)

Are you sure you've not got any binding or tight links on the velo 50? I use a 2250 battery on my 600 and get 4-5 flights comfortably in this weather!
Using a 3000mah Tipple battery on my 700 with the beastx and managed 3 flights before a re-charge was required last Sunday.

Really enjoying the beast
