Whats anyone's thought about putting this battery in the meteor. Could a 60 amp pro esc from eflite handle this?

I agree..full stock motor, esc, fan...
I have plenty of EDFs, but this is by far the most efficient setup I have had in an EDF...period. I am amazed. I run using a Value Hobbies 4s 3300mAh 30C pack and regularly get 6 minute flights. I land, taxi back...all in this 90-100* TX heat, and the lipo is still at normal temps! No elevated temp at all. It's a freak of physics I tell you!?! ALL my other EDFs come down with medium to hot lipos. I am not just floating around during the flight either. This is one of my all time favorite planes to take to the field with me. IT just flies great. Ken |

how many amps does the thing pull with a 5s and how much faster is it with a 5s?
Thanks |

Thanks for the info. Would the cg be messed up with the extra weight in the nose. I have my 3000mah 4 cell all the way foward stopped by teh foam.

RCplanes, I dont believe so. There should be more than enough room to move the pack around as needed. I have my 4S 4000 30C set about mid bay so there should be no issue. I would think the 5S may need to be towards the back of the bay but still easily doable.
Jason P.S. One of my flying buddies threw the gauntlet down on my previous statement about the stock meteor being faster on 5S than a 2W-20 in a 6904 on 4S. So keep your eyes out as there is a race to follow . |

on another argument if you got many 4s packs what does it cost more? buy 3 5s packs or buy the new powersystem which can go in otherplanes too. if you already have 5S packs then get the 2w-23 with the het fan and see if you can beat that |

Pavcon, We shall see what she can do against a 2W-20 . Me personally I am mid battery replacement cycle so picking up a few cheap 5S packs makes no difference. As far as balancing I balanced mine so its rather smooth. It has 1 rough spot as many have stated after balancing. If the fan blows she will get a Wemo or HET as a replacement. I work with what I have and adjust accordingly. Who knows there might be 5S birds might be in my future.
