Well, my three TP2200 4S packs are well on their way out after only around 30 cycles each - Grrrrr.
Now I'm considering Kong Power for replacements. Due to their good rep for non-puff and longevity.
Here's my dilemma:
KP are heavy, like 245g for a straight swap with my TPs (218g - an thats bad as it is) my bird's already up in the 850-900g region. Another 27g of extra weight is not good!
Should I (and I can't belive I'm even contemplating this) drop back to 3S where KP 2200 packs are only 190g.
And also put the stock 430L motor (as yet unused) back in, in place of my 1107-2Y neu (weighs 100g!!!)
The thing is I'm only using like 2800HS and woodies, so there's no power advantage for me on 4S, except for the less boggable head and the extra flight time (I currently enjoy a full 10 min flights even with my ailing batts).
I'm thinking maybe on 3S I'll still get 7-8 mins with KP2200's and the old stock Align 430L motor running through my Jazz ESC. The bird would be almost 100g lighter.
OR ------ Should I just buy the KP 4S 2200 packs at 245g, and not worry about the extra weight. The canopy fitment will also be a problem too - its already modded to accomodate the huge TP2200 Extreme packs and the Kongs are even taller!!!!!
I guess what I am asking here is: Is the weight of the Kongs a problem or not and if I did drop back to 3S am I going to be disappointed (my bird has never had a 3S setup before).........
Really need some considered 'old pro' opinion here guys - pleeeze
