Hey everyone, I have a e550 raptor i am building. It is my first heli. and I am getting a lot of practice on sim. My question is i need to know what lipo to rum in it. I know my motor type, using reccom,mended 1050 kw w/ 75a esc. w/10 tooth pinion gear. I will be running 6S but they come in all sizes and the book soes not indicate 2500 ma , 3300. 4000, 5000 etc. Obviously the latter as expensicwe as $300. What should I run?

Your ESC can handle up to 75amps, I'd suggest you get a battery that can as well. So it would depend on the C rating and Capacity. If you have a 25C battery then you'd want a 3000mah capacity, if you have 30C then a 2500mah will work. Those are the minimums but you would get really low flight times. I suggest going up a larger 4000mah-5000mah batteries for more flight time, the added weight will also add stability.

I would suggest Outrage battery 25c 3300mah. I fly one on my Trex 500 Love it
