I am interested in getting a 3D Hobby Shop Aspera combo that comes with a Torque 2814-820 brushless motor, the Airboss 45A Elite ESC, a ThunderPower EXtreme 4S 2200 Lipoly pack, 4 Hitec HS-65HB servos, an APC 11x8E prop, a color-matched Hyperion AeroSpinner, servo extensions, deans connectors, and the correct motor-mounting spacers for the Torque motor. But, I had a few questions.

If I wanted a couple extra batteries, what would you recommend (Thunder Power only please!)? Also, would a Thunder Power TP535C charger, paired with a TP205V balancer and a TP1205P power supply be good? A HiTec Micro05S 5 channel receiver would do the job too, right? Am I missing anything else needed to run the plane?

Thanks for all the help! I guess we can use this thread to talk about the Aspera in general too!

If you think you will fly something larger in the future, you might be better off getting the TP1010C charger and a bigger power supply up front. If not I would still consider at least getting a bigger power supply than the TP1205P which appears to be only a 5A power supply.

I'de say something in the 4S 3000mah range. 200mah gives about 8 minutes of run time. I'm using a 2850, and gertting about 15 minutes, but the plane is starting to get a little heavy like that. i'de think 4S 3000-3200 is about perfect.

It's a great airplane.

Alright, thanks for the help. I'll look into a bigger charger and those 3000 mAh batteries!

4S A123's are pretty good: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_60...tm.htm#6031698

Having a little fun with the Aspera.
