I hooked my 11.1v 3s 1300 lipo up to my Condor tonight and the power increase was dramatic to say the least. I only tested it for a shortwhile though as I was worried about the stock esc unit handling that many amps and when I touched it, it was starting to get a bit warm (not hot, I only had it on for a few seconds at most). I pluged the stock battery back in and it still works fine although without that extra power, it seems horribly underpowered. I'd say it was at least a 50% increasein speed and more then double the amount of thrust compared to the stock setup at its fastest which made me really think that if Ihad this battery and a better esc and perhaps a better motor (perhaps brushless), this plane would really take off on its own. Akkk where is John/nitrostaff1, Ineed a new receiver so I can test my current change with raising the front end of the plane with the stock batteries to see if Ican get this baby off the ground on its own power. Perhaps one of you guys with more experience could let me knowhow Ican go about getting a new 27mhz receiver for my plane.Will any 27mhz receiver with my stock crystal in it work with my stock controller/transmitter or do you need a brand specific receiver to work with the stock transmitter?
