Maniac:

I am using 10C-12C 3S 2000 mAh packs. Yes, the 9X6 is on the high side and will pull 20 amps WOT (I believe the 2808/24's max draw is 22 amps/30 secs), which I almost never do. I generally fly from 1/2 to about 2/3rds trottle. So, at 2/3rds I pull about 16 amps. I have the 2808/24; I wanted the lower amp draw. Works very well. The pack never gets above 140 F, even on 100+ degree days (although I am a little extra careful on those days), and is generally in the 120 - 130 range when I test it after my flights.

A more agressive, heading towards 3-D, flying style would give my setup quite a workout.
