RE: Walkera 5#10

If your looking for battery upgrades go to MaxAmp. I bought some 3.7V 1100 mAh 18C cells and soldered on JST connectors. You can use the battery holder from Gary at SuperSkids and rubber band them...

RE: Walkera 5#10

Butters, sorry I thought you were saying the Xtreme blades didn't fit. I guess you were refering to the CF blades you posted.

RE: Walkera 5#10

Those look great, a little rich for my blood. The Xtreme blades are really tough and $ 4.00/set. Think I'll wait and see how hard it is for you to break th CF's before I invest that much money.

RE: Walkera 5#10

My suggestion would be to get them from Mike, Jr. at Ka-planes. Their web site is ka-planes.com. They may be a bit higher than some of the others but their service is second to none.

RE: Walkera 5#10

I don't think I'd bend the battery. I'm going to fasten mine to the bottom of the frame with some small velcro straps. By the way the Xtreme blades are BadA@#$% blades. With the stock battery they...
