What lipo for Trex 450L Dominator 6s?

[muscleflex]

Hi all,
I want to get more batteries (only have two so far) for my Trex 450L Dom 6s. However, the lipos I use don't seem to be available at hobbyking anymore:

What other lipos do people use for this heli?
Thanks

I have bought a couple of the Turnigy Bolt. They seem good but I haven't stressed them yet. 5 minutes of gentle flying leaves about 47% in them.

Thanks - how does it fit?

Oh I have just found these... anyone know how they perform and if they will fit in the Dominator?

A bit tight but then so are the ordinary Turnigy 6 s.

I used Gens Ace 6s 1200mAh. The place i bought them from is now closed down thought, and i unfortunately can't find another set anywhere. Think they cost me around £24

These would work too.

Hey

I use the turnigy nanotechs 1550mAh. They fit nicely. I heard someone at my club saying they ran 1800mAh batteries but didn't get what packs they were. I am happy with the 1550's

+1 for the 1550 Nano-techs never had any trouble with them, plenty of power a really nice fit.

I run Align 1450's in mine. They fit very well and have performed fine for 3 years now.

They're available here: https://www.align-trex.co.uk/1450mah...-hbp14501.html

Do they really fit properly or tight?

I would say they fit nicely. I bought some second hand off another member that were swollen a little and still fit without touching the side frames. If u can wait till Saturday I will take some pictures of the fit

Thanks. Yeah I can wait - please send me some photos. I was going to order today but it was too late so I'll wait till Monday before deciding and maybe order.
By the way - with this Nanotech 1550, what's your flight time?

[cjm180]

That depends on a lot of factors as u know. I run slightly lower head speed than some. I have the timer set at 6:30 and I fly sport or low level Arco. Loops rolls stall turns etc. when I take the photos I will download the esc settings I have for head speed and let u see them, so u can see my setup.

i think my iu1 is around 3000rpm

Will post some pictures first thing in morning...
