which extra batteries should I buy?

[yuppyflyer]

Looking to buy some more batteries for my MCPx which ones should I buy?

[DaveJones]

I use nanotech 300mAh bought off eBay, cheap, good flight times and fit the stock battery tray

[Delarado]

I use the arrowind 220mah ones from fast lads i think...or midland heli.

come in a pack of 5. Very cost effective at about 15 quid i think.

Not gonna lie, they dont feel quite as good as the overlanders or stock ones I have, but the difference is so negligable it might even just be psychological.

for 5 for 15 cant be beaten really I dont think, amazing for practice!

like to max my little flying time so don't want to sacrifice performance or duration... must admit though they are tempting at that price!

Another vote for 300 nanos, cheap as chips. But if you can find Overlander 260 packs for a good price, they seem to last longer.

I use these Mini Aviation - Leading supplies of LiPo Batteries for Radio controled model airplanes.

I bought mine from their ebay store - Good battery so far. Flight times have been v good

[yuppyflyer]

tempted to try these mini aviation ones, guess they slot straight in ok?

That's a good price. How do they compare to others? What flight times do you get, and what kind of flying?

I have the stocks the overlanders and the nanotechs, without doubt the headspeed is highest on the nanotechs. Another vote for nanos but overlanders come a close second

[Delarado]

I fly 3 minutes on all my cells, being standard 200mah 30c, overlander 26c 260mah and the arrowind 220mah 25c.

All 3 types of packs do 3 minutes comfortably, unless its really cold - in which case It can go down to 2 minutes.

The difference per pack is in seconds, and personally im not willing to spent an extra £10 or so to get 5 overlanders that will last 30 seconds longer per pack; When i'm going to be flying 10 packs anyway!

[Randall]

3 mins...... Thats very short im getting about 5 mins of sport/3d flying with my nanotechs

[Delarado]

I've never got 5 mins, not even out of my stocks!

[sinkrate]

miniaviation - yeah they slot straight in. Flight times outdoor I do no more than 3- 3.5 mins full rate, around 4-5 min normal. Inside with things calmed down a bit I've never really timed them prob nearer 5-6 mins not sure how low that's running them though.....

[ghost2212]

+1 for miniaviation packs, Both me and a frind are running them and there better thant he turnigy nanotech I have. I was running for 3 minutes on stock brushed but now 2:30 on brushless. They woudl run a bit longer but the power drops off and the tail gets bad. They have the best performance from beginning to end compared to the other packs though.

300 35C Nanos suit me fine. 4 mins hard sports leaves me 28%. The connectors are a bit of a tight fit and need rubbing down to fit smoothly.
