I have 1 stock lipo and 2 2100mah 20c discharge(11.1v of course) been thinkin of getting acouple of 2400mah 15c discharge. Will the lower discharge rate affect the belt noticeably? Anybody else use an equivalent lipo, please do tell.:thumbup:

I'd be more worried about the physical size of the battery rather than the discharge rate of a 2400mah battery.
A 2100mah 20c battery can discharge at 42 amps and a 2400mah15c battery can disharge at 36 amps.In fact the stock battery is 1800mah 20c which can discharge at 36 amps.
So it will be enough but how big is it as you only have a battery tray that is 31mm high x 35mm wide. Anything bigger than this wont fit in the tray (dont ask me how I know:oops:, at least I could use that battery in the trex)
So watch the size but the discharge rate should be ok

I took some measurements on the CF frame and I got 37mm wide x 34mm high. I also checked the battery. It will fit. it is 82mm long x 34mm wide x 25mm high!:thumbup:

You always gotta read the fine print no need to be:oops:. I bought some wood blades labeled #325 wood blades but these blades are actually 270mm! If I would have payed attention and read the specs, I wouldn't have 2 sets of useless woodies! :roll:

Sorry didnt see the CF body in your signature until now.
Yeah if it will fit it should be ok.

Any11.1v lipo 15c up to 30c 1800mah to up to 2500mah will work, just make sure it'll fit in your heli as posted above. Yes, the Esky 2100mah is just fine.:thumbup:
