Status: offline 		I just ordered one and it won't be here until next week. From what I have heard, it is a good idea to upgrade the battery. What Lipo brands to you all use, what chargers do you have, and what balancers. What do you think the highest mAh rating would fit in the airframe?

Status: offline 		I bought the Thunder tiger 11.1 v 1320Mah fits fine on it's side I added a peice of foam to the bottom of the chopper and it slides right in perfect. My charger is the duramax ICE and I don't have a balancer yet. working on that. LHS said I should be fine for a month or so without it. But when I get 4lipos batteries. I should get one because thats over $200.00 in batteries and it will make them last longer. But for now I am fine they say. cost me 57.11 with the connector for the axe and my battery that included tax I had a $5.00 coupon they let me use.


It is way worth it cause you only get about 5 minutes with the one it comes with. By the time you feel comfortable it is out of juice. My lipo is giving me about 2 10 minute flight and I quit about 9.7 and recharge after about 20 minutes to let it cool to room temp.

Status: offline 		well it's good to be back from vacation. All i had as far as RC in concerned while i was gone was my real flight G3.5. So I decided to take the axe for her first flight outdoors. Glad i did. i put two stock batteries through it. during the second battery a gust blew the heli back and i broke both blade grips....grrrrr. but alas, i had some forward thinking and i ordered some before the parts crisis. threw the new ones on and went back to the fun. all in all a good day. just wish i didn't have to deal with th 5-10 mph winds. here's a vid.
