Status: offline 		I was just wondering what kind of batteries everyone was using, stock or otherwise and what kind of run time you are getting. I have had my Axe for a week and havent had a chance to fly it yet but was curious what I can expect with the stock battery and what is usable as a substitute. Thanks for any and all input.

the batteries I use now are the stock batteries - I purchased three of them - two extra so I could use the Radd Method to learn to fly. He suggests several packs. I have a LI pack on order now and should get it this week. Once I fix the helicopter - waiting on main rotor grip part I broke; I'll let you know what battery I prefer -- but I'm sure someone may tell youu sooner.

Status: offline 		I'm not expecting too much from stock but I was more wanting to see what aftermarket ones were being used. I would like to get the most time I can from a flight. Just wanted to see how big a battery we could stuff in there without causing problems.
