I am running a 3 cell Kokam Lipoly 700 mah battery on a Shock flyer with Jeti 8 and a AXI 2208/34 motor. What kind of flight times should I get? I flew 1 time today mostly at 1/2 throttle and got about 7-8 mins.(just a guess I did not time it)

I would guess that is not too bad.
i get 10 minutes at just over half with 3 Cell Kokam 1500 on an Axi 2212/34 in a bigger 3D.
Think about how many "Amps" you have to use...
0.7 for one hour or 60 minutes OR
7Amps for 6 minutes...
Assuming you are running the battery all the useful way down.

I would hope you would get longer flight times from the 700mah pack. I am flying a Shockflyer with the AXI motor and the 2cell 340mah Kokam pack at about 6 minutes per flight varying power from Hover to slow flying throughout the flight. I was planning to upgrade to the 3cell 700mah Kokam pack and had hoped I'd atleast get 10 minutes. Anyone else have any input here?

I flew it again today and timed the flight, I was getting 10 1/2 mins. on the 3 cell Kokam 700mah pack. I also flew a Thunder Power 2 cell 860 mah pack and got about the same flight time. I like the power of the Kokam better but I found the Thunder power pack was easier to hover. I guess because of weight and less torque to the motor. (The tail was not twisting as much)
