[toryjordan]

I have a stock blade cp, i was trying to find info on a lipo batteries for this heli. i also need a charger. Does anyone know what kind and where the best deals r !

Also i was flying today and my cp was hovering nicely, and it was like someone turned the power on & off . it just bobbed down, it didn't crash but it done this twice with the stock battery. still new to this hobby so if any one can help.

I had the same thing happen to mine this week. My battery lead came loose inside the 4-in-1. Plug in the battery and wiggle the wire. If the power goes on and off, you have the same problem. If it does and you decide to repair it yourself you have to be very careful not to overheat the circuit board.

I use the E-power 3s's and love them for the blade. I'd go with a better charger though. Lipos can be touchy when it comes to charging. I'd recommend one with programmable charge rate. You also should use an 8t pinion with 3s's.

zooland1, also do i need to change this pinion, if i use this lipo. it will probably be a while before i get the lipo because there on back order, also my luck.
do you know of another place to get this battery cheap and can you suggest a good charger or what i need to look for in a good charger??
thanks tory
