How about a 2100mah pack. Mine was sent back for evaluation so I'll never know how it balances.

That would do it or a kong power they are pretty big and heavy... but they do not get puffy.... I'm sorry I should not bring up your beloved puffy in your time of mourning....

Wow I didnt that these heli's came tail heavy. So holding it by the flybar will not give me a true estimate of the weight distribution? So which links do I have to adjust on which servo? There are so many, i wish i had gotten a HBK2 instead =/

If your going to just sport fly then adjust your links to make it hover right.. If your going to start doing rolls flips or anything inverted your going to have to fix the balance problem with adding weight to the nose... Once you start doing anythig inverted your going to have to get the heli to balance at the flybar... So do it now, or do it later, but eventually you will have to do it right....

actually the heli doesnt seem out of balance at the flybar, of course im just eyeballing it, but what is the correct way of balancing it? also which links do i adjust?

yeah I was jabbing slider holding the flybar is a great procedure. I have the king only so I cant give you an experienced Beltcp answer. But the king using the same head is tailheavy. The king swash is directly hooked to the servos I am having trouble finding which servo linkage on belt cp is for pitch but usually it is up front you want the swash to tilt forward slightly to the nose of the heli.

When holding the heli by the flybar, look at the tail boom or skids and level it by eye with a bench top or cabinet bottom something that you know is straight and level... If your heli looks level then you have another issue, maybe a servo is not traveling correctly.
Did you set you servo arms while at mid stick, at this point, the arms should be level with the table your setting on...

yep the front linkage of the heli hooked to the swash pop link off the ball and turn it in 1 turn and see what happens. Im sure youll see a difference.

megapower batteries from helidirect I just got 250 flights on one. But go ahead and look into the cellpro 4s charger FMAdirect it monitors individual cells and pack temps and overall makes your batteries last longer. You will need an adapter to charge the megapowers with a cellpro but its worth it.

what is the max C rating on the battery that these 25A stock ESC can take?

it doesn't matter your motor cant pull more than the esc can handle.

they say in the heli specs to have a 150g pack for balance so I can only assume the beltcp is tailheavy like the king.

C Rating
LiPo cells are also commonly given a C or current rating. This is the maximum average recommended discharge current for the cell. For example, the Thunder Power 1900mAh packs have a 6C rating. To determine the maximum recommended discharge rate multiply the capacity times the C rating. 1900mAh x 6C = 11,400. So the maximum recommended discharge rate would be 11,400mA or 11.4 amps. If your application has a higher amp draw, remember that LiPo cells can be wired in parallel, and with 2 cells in parallel each cell sees half the total current. With 3 cells in parallel, each cell see one third the current.

By wiring packs in a combination of series to get the voltage and parallel to achieve the capacity and individual cell current to an acceptable level, LiPo cells can be used to power nearly every type and size of model.

The belt cp is tail heavy. Move the battery as forward as it needs to be. You may need to use popsicle sticks to give the battery more to mount on. Keep your swash plate level. Balance it correctly now. The heli you save may be your own. Tryan, I am using the 2100 n revolution now. I got 9 minutes out of it and the battery and motor were cool. You will love that battery when it shows up. Oh and im sorry for your loss.(puffy) Oh by the way, I still had plenty left in the battery just didnt want to run it all the way down.

hey toolman what brand did u go with and how many Cs were your batteries rated at? I kinda wanna go for about 20-25C but im afraid the 25C would blow my ESC or worse. I heard the More C the more power discharge and more powerful the motor will become, but too much can be a bad thing. Stock is 20C.

Trust me when I say a battery doesn't give you more power it is a capacitive device it can only provide more power to your motor. If you change pinions higher, your motor current will go up. your heli was setup with that motor and esc and pinion for a reason. All youll get out of a 25c battery is a cooler running temp which yes will provide more power but will not be noticeable.

Gotta go I have to go to my Electrical engineering job.

I have the 2100 n. Its 18c Trust me. Thats all you need. My pack never gets warm. I get long flights. I could go 12 minutes but i wouldnt recommend it. You will need the cellpro charger or a get a balance plug that will fit your charger.
