Default anyone got a battery or two i can borrow?

one of mine took a crap, and it had to happen right before the comp. anyone got a battery or two that i could use at the comp? 8.4v to 11.1v would be great. gonna be used on my berg, so if its lipo it would need to be 20c or greater so i dont smoke it. if you got some i could use, that would be great.

if its lipo, i need to know for sure that they will be there(more than one or a charger to use), b/c i need to change the settings on my mamba. i

f not, its gonna be rough with one battery

I have a pair of eFlight 2 Cell Lipos (1250mah 20C) that I always keep in my toolbox that you can use. I will also have a charger/power supply.

that would be great, anything to get through the comp. i just placed an order with CheapBatteryPacks.com, hopefully they get here in time.

if anyone has a pair of higher voltage, that would be better, but 2cells would do

Yeah I've got a few 1500 3 cell 20-30c Lipos you can use. I'll probably have to solder up adapter for your connector. I'm a odd ball I like the Sermos connectors.

good point, i run deans female connectors on the battery. i can bring an extra for making the adaptor there if needed. the 3 cells would be the best bet

Yeah it's what I use on my berg. They seem to work good. I've got 5 packs so it shouldn't be a problem between the both of us.

They are tall and short rather then long and slim shouldn't be a issue though.

That is the style that I prefer as well. They seem to be getting tougher and tougher to find in that configuration. I like the ones that are like 67mm long and about 34mm wide...3 cells thick. They fit really nicely on an axle in that dimension.

I have mine on the rear axle as I didn't have enough room on the front with my setup.



These are pretty small for their rating 72mm X 36mm X 27mm
