Advice for Trex 250 Pro Batteries

[3Flite]

So we've just purchased a Trex 250 pro and I think I'd like a few more batteries but was unsure what to actually commit to get, and whether it matters on it how much mAh I need for the battery because I'm thinking of getting a 800mah battery but not a 850mah, would this effect the way she flies??

Just seen where your from, you don't fly at the Newark indoor club by any chance?

Back to your original question about 800mAh Vs 850mAh, basically cell capacity isn't rated that accurately in my experience.
What I would say though is you can definetely feel the difference between say 20C & 30C packs on this heli.

My recommendation is the Align packs 850 30C, which give good power & last well but they are around £15.
Other packs will work & if you only have one type you won't know any different.

Spot on, next time I'm down I'll be setting up a 250DFC, so that should be fun.

If you go with the Volt Lipo's and have the standard Align ESC then get yourself one of these as well - http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk/ba...-to-deans.html

The Volts come with Deans connectors, for a few extra £ it saves the hassle of have to solder all new connectors.
