They only list 5C and 10C LiFE batteries. My understanding is that current is a big deal with the big servos. That I why I switched to the A123 2300mah batteries. They spec at 20C, 50 amps. That is far more than the wires or switches can handle. IF a 10C battery is enough I can cut the cost of packs in half.
I run four Hitech HS-755MG and HS-311 for the throttle. IF I don't need all those amps that changes things. Can I get by with less? What is the current draw on a set up like mine flown with moderate (pattern type) aerobatics?
