Thanks for the info about the wiring. Much appreciated. I'm stuck neck deep in Christmas stuff right now but as soon as that is behind me I'm going to order some lipo batteries and give that a crack. As I stated earlier, I have tons of experience with nitro helis but very little with electric. Always amazes me how a guy can get sucked in like me into trying something new like this tiny electric and find that after a few trips to the hobby store I got as much invested in this thing than a decent 30 nitro heli. My entire purpose was to get something I could mess with in the neighborhood and not irritate the neighbors and that part I enjoy. If I'm really going to pursue this electric avenue, then I think I'm going to look into something like the mini raptor or Align Trex series. I know it will set me back a small fortune but they look more to my expectations.
