The Best Battery choice for the rex??

[lu wei yao]

Hi guys! need some info before i buy anything. What is the best batt for the rex. I am talking about size (which must be snug fitting), Capacity (above 1800mah), reliability, and of cos price. All these factors have to be considered. I need a pack that is value for money but at the same time the most suitable. Any suggestions. it must be available locally too. Want to share this info to all rex owners too. thanx for the time guys.

Thanx!

If u really want the Best Battery for TRex, I do not know. Most of us know that for stock TRex, the recommended minimum AH battery will be 3Cell 1500mAH. What most of us use is ETec 1700mAH (3S1P). Some go for 4Cell or 5Cell. Some uses Align battery.

Thanx for the help man! But got one more Qns, wad is the flight time i would get on the Etecs 1700s? I am using the Align 400LF 2800kv motor. I am talking about just hovering. No aerobatics .(if only if i could) .

If u just doing normal hovering, u should able to get around 12 minutes.

I get abt 13mins on my Trex.


Thunder power packs should be better but price wise,

Let me complicate the issue here.

U have a 25 amp esc, so u will need a battery pack that can provide 25 amps continuous. Otherwise the battery will get overheated. Which most people are experiencing. I normally downgrade the manufacturer C rating by 20% and I find my batt last longer.

Trex- AUW should be about 650gm or less. The battery pack weight should be 650gm less weight of trex without batt.

Hovering consumes more energy than gentle flying.
