I have a Steven's AeroMicro Cap 232, with one of the IPS-D motor systems. What do you guys suggest for a battery that has a moderate run time, and lots of power??

Hello,

This is probably an old thread, and by the time your reading this, you have probably have heard about the New Hi-cells 1100's from http://www.edogfight.com/ . These cells have the same specs. of that close to the AE's, but put out much longer duration in flight than the AE's. Alot of E-flyers have switched to these cells, selling their seemingly powerfull AE's for these new cells.

yours,

genovia

The recomended pack for the Micro 232 using the performance power system we recomend is a 7cell 370NIMH. For better durration / performance you should be looking into the 700mah ETEC lipoly 2 cell pack. Contact me at [email protected] if you would like to discuss your options.
