You will be able to fly longer with that, but I would prefer to have both high capacity and high C ratings. At 10C, that pack is going to give you about as much "umph" as a stock pack, which isn't much. I have better results when using 15C+ packs. Let us know how you like your packs, though!

lol im not going to get them if you guys dont think they are good. im not really aiming for speed and torque w.e im aiming for fly time. ill look at 15c ones now to see if they have some. i guess it would be cool to have my cx2 lift something up..

Nice Battreries but they won't fit into a stock battery tray they are about 1/4 more the size of stock. You could make them fit if you modified your heli, but I would recommend somthing with more "C" rating if you want to fly with such a big heavy battery like that.

stock is 68xx25x12mm
still can't fit them into your battery tray without cutting something off.

I clipped my battery tray long ago (on both of my CX2's) and now use velcro on the bottom of the tray, on my LiPo packs and then use a velcro strap to secure whatever pack I am using. This allows me to use "non-standard" packs for my CX2. Case in point being the Xtreme 18C packs from USHOBBYSUPPLY.com and the FlightPower 20C 3S 11.1V 1385 mAH pack! You should see the FP pack on my CX2. It looks pregnant! However, the extra power you get from a higher C pack, plus the extra voltage from a 3S pack MORE than makes up for the added weight!! It so powerful that I won't fly the FP pack inside anymore!

First of all, the way I modified my battery tray is to clip off the parts that hold the battery in place, keeping the battery tray frame, to which the skids attach. As I said, I use velcro and velcro straps to keep my packs in place. Not only does that allow me to use different sizes of batteries, but it also gives me more control over the placement of teh pack, which helps me balance the COG.

Second, running a 3S, 11.1V pack on a CX2 should done at your own risk! There is a chance of frying your electronics / motors if you do this.

I also did what BryFlyGuy67 did to his battery tray and it works great.
