Then ended up flush mounting xt60 plugs so as it’s a nicer finish , also looks better when flying without external batteries
Stopped above landing point before deciding to fly on to see what total flight distance and time I could get , hovering above landing point used slot of battery , so 60k is a definite possibility
Those are the only batteries I've used so I've never compared to anything else. I was hitting 59k ft with the M1 and landing at over 20% so never tried any others.There's a couple here the like the TP's. I think they're way too expensive for what they offer. The IR is the problem. I literally gave mine away[emoji41]
with that said... i have a feeling if you switched to the proteks you'd end up needing a battery mod for your controller.
I picked up a set of M2 motors and want to build a 4s powered M1 using everything that has been learned so far. ESC heat sinks, larger motor wires, shielded GPS/compass, etc.with that said... i have a feeling if you switched to the proteks you'd end up needing a battery mod for your controller.
This is still my favorite way to battery mod the M1s. Anything on the top shell hurts flight efficiency and the outward turning front props push a lot of air across the upper surface.
It makes a big difference even at 30-35mph. The front props push air over the top since they spin inwards and the rear props grab some of that air.I truly doubt that would matter unless you started getting over a 120mph
Try speeding up to around 50km/h and I think you'll gain efficiency.Two batteries 1600mah easily 30-32 min and 9000m/18000m long distance and many cigarettes on the return lol
I will try it . you may be rightTry speeding up to around 50km/h and I think you'll gain efficiency.
ok so where to start, 206 pages sheez ive read about 20 of those, im looking at one of these
Turnigy High Capacity 3000mAh 3S 12C Multi-Rotor LiHV Pack w/XT60
with the MaxUAV battery adaptor to start with (may open up and add fixed cabling at some point), seems that maxuav doesnt do the battery saddle on the Uk site, just waiting for an answer on that, I may buy 2 of the above batteries and see what i get.
I also need a battery charger for the above, im clueless, so sugggestions welcome and bear in mind im new at all this
that battery is too heavy compared to other options.ok so where to start, 206 pages sheez ive read about 20 of those, im looking at one of these

Here is a list of the most common batteries used. This does not mean they are the best batteries. There are tons of batteries out there you can use, just try to get a battery that has the most power(mah) to weight ratio. My preferred battery for the MP are the Proteks.
Turnigy Nano-Tech Lipo 1300mah = 119g / x2 = 2600mah = 238g
Turnigy Nano-Tech Lipo 1800mah = 161g / x2 = 3600mah = 322g
Turnigy Multistar LIPO 1400mah = 115g / x 2 = 2800mah = 230g
Turnigy Multistar LIPO 1600mah = 150g / x2 = 3200mah = 300g
Turnigy Multistar LIPO 2200mah = 195g / x2 = 4400mah = 400g
Turnigy Multistar Lihv 3000mah = 188g / x2 = 6000mah = 376g
Turnigy Multistar Lihv 4000mah = 265g / x2 = 8000mah = 530g
ProTek RC 100c LiHV 3600mah = 221g / x2 = 7200mah = 442g
ProTek RC 100c LiHV 4100mah = 223g / x2 = 7200mah = 446g
Thunder Power LiHV 4500mah = 245g / x2 = 9000mah = 490g
ANTIX by LRP LiHV 4600mah = 281g / x2 = 9200mah = 562g
HobbyStar 3S LiHV 8000mAh = 435g
Turnigy Multistar LIPO 4000mah = 320g
Turnigy Multistar Lihv 5200mah = 318g
Thunder Power LiHV 4500mah = 245g
Thunder Power LiHV 9000mah = 506g’’]
You can use any battery charger that is capable of charging 3S LiHV batteries.
