Best batterys for Trex 500

[Dean airwolf]

Hello guys
What would be the best batterys for a trex 500.
At this time am using 6s 35c batterys.
Best Regards Dean

That was quick.I am leaning with 5 flights under my belt.But i have a sky fox jetranger and that will take the same batterys so i would use them on that aswel.Only for scale flying no 3 D.But some one over the field i should go up the cell from 35c to ?.......
Thanks Dean

You don't need it for you level, turnigy blue 20 c will be plenty IMO. Think of the c rating as a tap, the more you turn the tap on the more comes out and you don't need to turn the tap on so your 35c packs are easily ample.

Thanks I will take a look on hobby king or take a look over wings and wheels show this weekend.
Thanks Dean
Ps flybarless are easy to get hold off for a raptor 50.
Got it in a police shell and I also have a RJX extreme 50 size with G lock.
End goal build and fly a airwolf.
So I will be pop up and asking technical questions.So far am enjoying the hobby with back ground with planes.
Am still a long way off flying some off the nice helis I have.

I'm only a sport level flyer, fast circuits, big loops, rolls, flips and some inverted etc, no hardcore 3D.
Even at my level of flying on the 500 Pro I notice a big difference between low c and high c batteries. I started off with 20-30c Haiyin 2650mAh batteries which generally get good reviews, and while they did 'ok' and run cool enough, the heli would bog down under hard (for me) collective and my telemetry low voltage alarm would be chirping regularly. I upgraded to 65c Nanotech's and it's like a different heli. It's got far more punch, never bogs down and the low voltage alarm has never activated except once when i run the battery down too low (which is what the alarm is there for).

I've got a 600 and a 700 and they are far less sensitive to battery selection. On the 500 Pro my advice would be to go for the highest c rating you can stretch to, unless all you ever plan to do is hover and fly slow circuits, in which case anything will do the job.

Thanks for your help.
Man said get use to doing circuits with the 500 then should be ok with the bigger ones.
I need to get a align 600 size to make airwolf.

I'm picking up a 500x next week. What mah do people use on the 500's?

[Grumpy]

Anything in the 2650mAh-3300mAh range will fit both the 500 Pro, or (two of them in series) will fit the 600 Pro. I regularly fly the 600 Pro in my sig on the same 65c 2700mAh Nanotechs as i use in the 500. The slightly smaller batteries (compared to the 3300mAh most use in the 600) help keep the weight down and i still get over 7 minutes flying time.

[Shep0479]

That's cool. I think the stock lipo is a 2900 so that's in the middle. Might have to look at the nano techs.

I've flown mine on 2650 up to 3000mAh. I usually go for the slightly smaller ones as it keeps the weight down and flight time is hardly effected.

Thanks for all the info.
I will take a look at them on HK.

started with the turnigy 2650 but now I fly with Gens Ace 3300 mAh 35c and love it , CoG is perfect

[Dean airwolf]

Thanks
I will take a look on HK for them aswel.

Would two 3s 2200 together as 6s be too low in Mah?
