Only because he is in the UK. To you it will be fast and not too expensive

lol yeah otherwise it would be a paradise because dollar agains pound is ROUGHLY 0.5 lol.. and our minimal salary is ROUGHLY 6£ per hour...

only shipping keeps us from paradise....

rimaarts where do you get your gens ace in the uk? and what is a squid you mentioned in the cy thread?

I was wondering about the C rating. My TH batteries have a 25C to 50 C the ones at hobby partz are 25C i assume thats ok.

Gens Ace is out of Germany.

I would think there should be a European supplier if not the Gens Ace warehouse in Germany.

I figure if its good enough for you guys its good enough for me. Mainly cause I dont know much about any of this stuff. Thats why I joined this forum, to get input from people in the know. Thank you all. Oh yeah, I ordered 10 of the 2s 450 mah 25c packs and a little something I've been wanting to try out. FPV camera. Comes with camera and receiver. Kind of a cheap-o but what the heck the guy on youtube had fun playing with it. What kind of flight times are the 3s packs good for? I was flying for 4-5 minutes and the 2s pack tested at 7.8 at the end.

I don't seem to get any more time out of the 3s 450s. But I do get more zip. Usually, I don't care about that, but it is nice when fighting the wind.

This won't be a lot of help for you in the UK, but this may certainly help the USA purchasers. Try Xheli.com and choose "spare part express" shipping method for $4.95 shipping and you can probably find an active code here for an additional discount.

Xheli = Nitroplanes = Hobbypartz.

Funny, prices are different across each website. Weird. Sometimes the prices are substantially different on the same item.

I looked at them, and instead ordered a bunch of nano-techs from HK USA.

They're ok, but I get only about 3-minute flights on my XSlick with the 9" prop.

The Gens probably would do better.........????

Dave

No, they won't do any better than the Nanos. I get 5-6 min with the Nanos with the 1500Kv TH motor and 9 inch prop. Must be a throttle control thing.

edit: And 5-6 minutes with the 1800Kv X series with an 8 inch prop.

11:30 at night and I want to fly my CY. Got physical therapy tomorrow and I'm usually ruined after but I dont care I'm going out after I get home. Got a Yak on my back!!

but for my 3dhs slick i order batteries from giantcod.. http://www.giantcod.co.uk/gens-lipos-c-1_319.html


and that charging squid? well, for my deans/powerpoles i have epbuddy paraboard.. and for my 450 i ordered http://electriflyer.co.uk/4mm-to-jst-mini-x-6-parallel/ this... mini jst paralel charge cable... i figure, ill use paraboard balancing with paralel charging cable charging...

Thanks rimaarts. Let us know how electriflyer do, Gens Ace are pretty hard to get hold of at times, there are a few places that deal with them but they are so often out of stock it's not funny.
