TonganSojah do yourself a faver and spend a bit more and get a good charger.
Saying batteries are cheap is fine but plan ahead to the future.

that charger is for both 7.4 and 11.1v, there is 2 conections 3 cells and 2 cells, 3 cells charge 1 A 2 cells charge 1.5 A. its safe to charge 2 cell batteries its designed for that

An others interesting motors to try:

Good motor, less kv means less RPM, but also, more torque so this is a good option with 11- 12t pinion (little main frame mod is needed)

even better motor, more power (NO main frame mod is needed can use the stock pinion 2mm)

https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...or_4200kv.html




good motor, could be the best option, this one is used in Honey bee king helicopter, to move a 27 cm wooden blades, 2.8 diameter need to check the frame space, pinion 10-12 (little main frame mod is needed)

this one could bee to week, but if it has the strong enough for the main rotor, this one could give you more flight time

moki155 suggest, interesting option shaft 2mm you can use the stock pinion so (NO main frame mod is needed)

Powerfull motor! but could means less flight time, (little main frame mod is needed) a 3m pinion is needed 9-11t

The mods sound interesting and I may do it to one of mine. However, I am looking at a CP heli (6 channel xmtr and RTF) for slightly more cost.
It is 450 size and has good dealer support.

would love to try this mod so the Y connector is so you can connect the stock battery to the jst female connector in the F45 and to the ESC as well no?? have I understood the concept?? This will be my next mod when stock motor dies so I can enjoy 10minutes plus flight time without worry about the motor getting too hot and dying out when the heli is 150ft above my head

hey guys is this the same battery as the stock battery??

i was just looking around on ebay and found that so i was just curious if its the same battery. plus its only 100 miles away from me which is only 1 day shipping..

thanks for the info. hows your heli? mine is still great i had a major crash today and there was no damage just paint job

skip to the end for some crash lol

Just ordered the brushless esc and motor from Hobbyking so I'll be prepared when the main motor gives up only 30USD for the 2 items but will probably test it before the stock motor dies so I can compare them Will keep you guys posted when they are delivered!

Seems to be a very confined space your flying in, could have been worse the pool could have been full

If you had filled your pool you probably wouldn't have crashed Btw I think you should take off your landing training gear if you can hover and land it you don't need it for flying start making some circuits now

Don't you think this is a better deal than the stock battery?? Slightly more power and cheaper when compared to price of stock battery on Ebay.

hahaha and thats why you fly in a open field not by the pool hahaha. it was kinda windy so i didnt go to the local field, I'm waiting on my battery and a mini camera so i can go and let it go wild in the field. better then going only for 9 min then come home.

how long does the motor need before i swap battery? around 15-20 min?

I think you can fly it again as soon as motor feels cold to touch but I'd wait for the others the chime in with their opinions!! i ALSO WANTED TO ASK IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO LUBE THE MOTOR WITH SOME LIGHT MACHINE OIL SO IT DOESN'T GET SO HOT WITHOUT DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD!!

NO. Machine oil will short the motor windings.
If you want lube, use a dialectic like wd40. It will improve performance, but reduce motor life. The proper way would be to disassemble the motor and grease the bushings.
