I think they are the rite ones , much better than peters ones they need a different charger & a conversion lead to use , I have both ,

[PeteStewardson]

Sorry second link was wrong, I meant these Turnigy nano-tech 300mah 2S 45~90C Lipo Pack (UK Warehouse)

I've got a convertor from when I had my 130x, and the standard JST probably makes it easier to charge as I can use my PL8.

I use 6 of the first ones you linked, They're great for the BL

IMO buy them and a 6 way charge lead and you're all set

[PeteStewardson]

Actually that's a good point, charge cable is only a few quid.

Do they fit ok? I read something about having to remove stickers?

[MarkG_R1]

I'm using xtreme skids at the mo and removed the shrinkwrap on the lipo's just to save a gram or two, they would have fitted ok without though

I also have the extreme skids and the bats fit great but on the standard skids they are tight , I found the original skid very week and couldn't keep up with the cost of replacements ,I also use the 6 charge lead , kd

[PeteStewardson]

Which skids are these?

[MarkG_R1]

these are mine, Bought them as a stop gap until my airtime skids turned up from Canada and they're still going strong, I'd have done 3 stock sets by now

Oh, I had bad experience with those aftermarket carbon skids for my mcpx. I had a set that lasted one flight, just snapped the support bits in the middle on one hard landing. What's wrong with the stock ones?

[MarkG_R1]

I broke the stock ones on my second crash and neither crash was that hard, I had a v2 mcpx and the stock skids were made of the same glue resistant cheese

I just thought I'd try the xtreme's, I even bought them thinking they'll probably be broken within a week, but no so far they've been great, the plastic bit seems to have enough flex not to break and the boom supports seem to reduce the flex in the frame at the tailboom mount which in turn reduces the tail wag
