Trex 600 ----> Alot of batteries needed?

[Michael Fox]

Hi all!!

Just building my Trex, and I noticed that the heli it self of course need a battery, but then i the motor box it was a 1100mAH battery as well? And then the Rx need its battery, and also the EsC?? :dontknow

I have not come to this part in the assembly jet, but it seems to me it is a lot of battery needed for this heli? That would'nt be good concerning weight, and payload or what?

Big battery for motor.
Little battery powers receiver and servos.

Just the 2 batteries needed.

no need to worry about the weight either.
the 600 will throw it around with ease :mrgreen:

The 600 has loads of "oomph" so weight isn't a huge issue. The 1100mah Rx pack will get you 4-5 good flights with digital servos before you'll need a recharge (this based on my +/- 90-110mah/flight usage on mine)

For driving the motor, don't skimp on batteries. I puffed two Align 4400 packs on my 600 with only 16 cycles between the pair. The EVO25s I replaced 'em with have worked flawlessly, even with my ham-handed collective control.
