Default Battery question?


Hello,

I am a newbie to helis but not to the rc world
I got an E-flite cx for Christmas and I knew I was getting several weeks in advance.I did my homework on it(i.e. the modifications that i read about,that most people had done to it)and it is flying great.Thanks to all for the input about this heli.The only problem that I have ran into is the dvd won't play in my computers rom or my dvd player anyone else have this problem.And the big question is the flight times i have been getting with these lipos are tops 8-10minutes.Do they make any other batteries that last longer than that.And I did purchase 2 extra batteries,just wandering if they have an upgrade battery for this heli.
Like this rc heli alot I am thinking about getting a T Rex can anybody advise which one would be best for a begginer after the cx.

thanks,Jg 142

What size batteries are you using (cells and mah)? There are all kinds of different lithium batteries out there, but the big thing you have to remember is, you don't want to add any weight to your heli (heavier battery). You always should try and keep your heli as light as you can.
