futaba9chp-pcm came with 1000mAhrx battery upgraded to jr 2400mah weight is 3 times as much is this ok for a raptor 50?

You shouldn't have a problem. I'm running a 2700's in both my 30 and 50

FYI. The high capacity batteries that come with heli systems are worthless. I guarantee if you put that battery on cycler you won't get anywhere near the claimed capacity. If you replace the pack with even just a 1300 mAH sub C pack you'll get close to twice the flight time. I run a 2400 mAH 4 cell pack in my 30 size Hawk Sport, no problem.

Charlie,

Can you post a pictures how and where did you install the battery. I don't want to messed up with my CG. Thanks

My Hawk Sport came out tailheavy with the standard 600mah pack that came with the radio system.... I hate adding dead lead... so I put a 1800 mah AA NiMh pack in it, which brought it right into balance. The NiMh cells are just enough heavier than NiCd to do the trick.

This pack will be good with your helo

I just put it up front, but instead of putting it on top of the tray, I put it on the bottom (I needed the room on top for my gyro).
