OK, just an FYI on the Kong Batteries. If size and weight matter to you be cautious.. I bought two (3s1p 11.1v 2200mAh 25C) just to check them out because I heard/read some good things. I was shocked at how big they were coming out of the package, they make my flight power 2170's look tiny. They also weight enough to shift my entire CG which was just right with the Flight Power 2170 and even the Align 2100 packs.

I can't put them far enough back on the battery slide (Trex 450 SE V2) to keep from a nose heavy situation. Any ideas without adding even more weight would be appreciated. Also, the anti puffing technology these guys advertize must be metal plates added in around the lipos because for some reason these things are just plain big and heavy.

I know Aligns Puff and get a bad rap, but honestly, if you care for them they can last a while and are really light and small.

By Far, the best (but most expensive) battery I have is the flight power 2170's.

Thx

Strange, because in my SE v2 the helicopter gets better balanced with the Kong Power batteries. With the Align battery the heli is tailheavy.

My 450 is balanced real well with the Kong packs.

not to be rude, but after some research esp in the Hong Kong forum, they are selling those clone Kong power. better be careful. i remember reading somewhere, the king kong itself is the same, just the background of the sky is different. and i think u shd have a alum shiny sticker showing the 25C, 11.1v, etc. will hunt back the article if possible.
