Is that Magnum or is it just bloody rich in that inverted photo:rolleyes:

Magnum gives a really eerie fog in cool weather

[abyiss]

..thought i better correct my self here.....b4 war starts,,,,leccys r ok...

yes m8,,,,maggy looks wicked as the fog creeped in,,..

good old helihead.,,doing what he dose best with the fury(x-cell)-inverted.:D

[ChrisB]

Yes remember,this site is now subject to the usual politically correct rules..

Cant praise anything over anything else..


I agree,leccy is also well cool,if a little expensive at present

[gazza]

Especially when another Flightpower 4S pack has just gone on me :(

Everytime I get my collection up to four one of the buggers puffs out.
The last lipo I bought is a Kokam so should be good for 300 cycles ( I'm balance charging always and using cellpro discharge protection module)

I've had 30 cycles from the Flightpower..Takes the piss. Thats £3.33 a flight.

( 7 minutes) :(

[ChrisB]

Thats what bothers me

Would seriously go for a Rappy electric but shy away from the batteries


Whats a realistic battery life in cycles in comparison to the makers claims?

[abyiss]

its the battery packs on leccys,,,cost silly money,,,that how these companys have ya,,,,and the truck battery you need to charge them,,,also charge time,,

where as ,,nitro..you could have 7 flights in the time its took to charge a battery @ the feild....
But....and i say a big but...leccys have come a long way,,and r very very good ,,even the sound of them is wicked...((

just carnt beat the sound of an os engine on a mp2 ,,with maggy feul.,,lol

zinning around,,,,,((but then,,you carnt ripp a ic heli @ the park,,like i keep seeing boys with there leccys @ ibm playing feilds,,,thought that was a no flight zone,,,


old school...(

[3dbasher]

I've killed two 3s lipo's in two days.... they don't last very long.. apart from kokams, I've only had 20 cycles from the other ones

[ChrisB]

Holy crap:eek:

Steve

I love the sound of a Hyper singing but the big leccys are also very nice to listen to,,,great for scale

[abyiss]

yeah...big scale leccys ,,,r nice,,

these companies should make these lipo packs last more than 20 flights,,(thats about 2gallons of maggy,,,33 quids worth of maggy,,,

and what do these packs cost..#?

[3dbasher]

kokams seem to be the daddies 100's of cycles , but you've gotta treat them properly i.e balance 1c charge and don't over discharge them or get them to hot:eek:
the one's i've diddled aren't a well known make and have been looked after... i suspect there the same as the big name's just different sticker.
Give me magum 30 any day trouble is were's the heli gone:eek: :D

[gazza]

Yeak Kokam seem to be the true performers.
At cost though...The 4S 3200 mah cost me £157.
The TREX600 4800 mah packs are £300+ THATS what put me off the rex and onto the rappy 60 :D.

Yes if the cycle life is as claimed then you could be looking at a cost effective alternative to nitro but....Actually handing over £300 for 1 BATTERY thats a weeks wage for joe average!

[abyiss]

wow.......no wonder your moving to nitro..m8,,,,carnt blame ya....thas a lot of cash on a battery,,..and if you crash and damage it..eek,,,

mmm,....thats why we love nitros.....cheep to run,.,,and awsome power.
