I am currently building my 600n and i was wondering if my electronics for it can handle a duralite regualtor at 5.3 v.
My electronics for it is:
3x 9252 for cyclic (not the best i know, but what i got for it)
9253 for throttle (overkill, but i have it laying around)
611 gyro with 9256
Revlock 20 gov.
Does any of these have a problem running at 5.3 volts?
And what size lipo is recomended for this setup(mah?)
I am considdering a FP evo rx 2s 2100 mah, enough?

5.3 volts will work fine with no problems.
Yes 2100 mah is enough, but you will probably only get about 4-5 flights before it needs recharging. Not a problem since you can recharge it in less than 30 mins with a lipo charger.
I have been using the same servos and gyro setup on a Stratus for a few years now. I use a 4000 mah Li-Ion pack with 5.3 regulator.

Thank you for a quick answer:)
So, if i go for the 2s 3000mah it would last like 5-6 flights maybe 7?
Well i know now that i can use the reg, just need to get it finished and see what i can carry in front of the heli without making it noseheavy.

Yes the 3000 mah should give you a couple more flights over the 2100 mah. All this depends on what type flying your doing. Plus how smooth everything works on the heli. For a 10 min flight with your setup I think it would take about 300 mah of capacity is used each flight. But of course you can't use the full capacity of the battery for it will drop off quickly when it gets below a certain mah left in the battery.
