Is the C rating of a RX battery important?

I have a 2 cell lipo for my RX battery 1600 mah and a 35C rating. Goes to my Regulator then on to the RX

Wasn't sure if C rating is critical or not for RX pack

Thanks in advance

We're running 5A max, on average. Some more, some less.

Forgot to mention I'm a newb

I have no clue what you mean

I just want to make sure what I have wont damage my switch/RX It's a Power Box switch/reg

Your batt should be able to handle 56A.

The simple answer is "no problem". The C rating is simply the multiple of the rated amperage capacity that can be discharged when needed, hence 1.6 amps (1600 mAh) x 35C = 56 amps. You don't need 35C but it won't hurt anything.

If you are running this on an electric model, however, you won't need a 1600 mAh Rx battery. 800-900mAh is plenty. Depending on your flying style and the pattern sequence you fly, typically 25 to 50 mAh is consumed per flight.

Thanks guys

Great info!
