Thank's Mando for the info. Going electric is a new deal for me, and I'm trying to get all the info I can in order to get a good setup up front.
The tech at the local hobby shop suggested an Astro brushless, Phoenix 35, and 6 cell 3300 mah (10 to 15 min. flying time). The Astro is unavailable, so the hacker was my choice. Tell me what kind of difference you would expect between a 6 cell and a 8 cell battery pack? And is the ESC I am choosing big enough?
