Hello.

I have a Revo CP with the blue EF motor (looks like the Cool Red one form Hobby Lobby, only blue) a CC 25 speed control, and a Electrifly Battery 3S, 1500 mAh.

the motor is on 9 tooth pinion, and nothing gets very hot at all.

I get less than spectacular performance after 30 seconds, and the heli won't pull its own weight after about two minutes.

What am I missing.

Also the lipo pack has had the safe cherge stuff bypassed since it never worked anyway, and i put some cell taps on so I can charge each cell individually, therefore I think the battery is reasonable balanced.

When I get done with the flight, all the cells have a no load voltage of over 3.7V, although I don't have a way to load test them. If I use teh triton to discharge and charge them they are very close to full capacity.

:arggg:
