I have a mountain models mini flash with a PJS 3D 550, scorpio ESC, running on 8 cell 1000mah AE nimh pack. I also had this combo in a simprop foam sukhoi. My problem is the motor draws much more current than the battery pack can provide at full throttle. I was assured by Helmut at Dymond that this combo would give me unlimited veritcal and 8+ minute flight times with the sukhoi. Instead I got barely adequate vertical and more like 2-3 minutes of flight time. I've used both 9x6 and 10x4.75 apc sloflyer props with the same results.
I think the motor should be excellent for my mini flash but I'm new to electrics and unsure of the best way to go with batteries for my setup.
Any thoughts?
