e-Gaui Hurricane 200 & 550 - EP100 > TPX 2200 mah packs

Is anyone using these packs with good results? I heard they dont last long,just wondering what the flight times are and if 3D is capable ut of these packs. I just picked up 2 EVO 30 3200mah packs but at $125 each it is getting up there in price....

TPX 2200 should work well with stock setup. If you have 1100kv motor with 75amp, I suggest using 3200-3300 capacity 6s setup.

I have tested with TP 2400 on 1100kv motor with 15T pinion (2700rpm head speed) for 3min duration.

yeah thats what I figured...I have the 1500W motor....so in the end the paacks really arent that much cheaper than a pack for a rex600

That is not true. We have 6s 5000 Trex600, 9s 3850 Trex600, 6s 3300 powered H550, and 12s 5000 powered E-Stratus.

As the power goes, our H550 is up there with 9s Trex600 and 12s E-Stratus.

12s E-Stratus has $340 motor, $240? esc and $640 battery
9s Trex 600 has $300 motor, $180 esc and $360 battery
6s H550 has $150 motor/esc and $200-250 battery

They have comparable power/weight ratio.

We have been pounding the 1500 watt motor pretty hard over the last few weeks in our Hurricane 550.

We tried a number of battery combos and have settled on 2 Hyperion 3S 3300 packs in series. Using 2 packs makes the mounting a little easier. This gives you 4 minutes of solid 3D performance and still have time to land without destroying your packs.

Other packs of lesser capacity would give around 3 minutes for 1 or 2 flights and then they were ruined.

We are now looking in to other motors to see if we can get the flight time up a bit and still have good 3D performance.
Right now Kyle is willing to give up flight time for performance.
