I know, sounds like an ad', sorry about that; but $19.99 for their 20C 2200 mah batteries is a pretty darned good deal. They'd probably work in the Gaui 550 for 'light duty' as well, I've been running G-Force 2250 - 20C's with no problems as of yet anyway; but I'm taking it easy on them too.

I just ordered two to try them out. A lot of good write-ups on their website so we'll see how they do. Again, standard disclaimer; I have no interest in HC, I've not flown these Lipos before, objects in mirror are closer then they appear, etc.

Not sure what you're run time on a Gaui 550 would be, for poking around say 4-5 minutes, low level sport flying, maybe 4, anything more then that and you're likely looking to PUFF the buggers. Maybe not, but you're only going to get 44 amp tops so I'd be careful with them...

Now for a T-Rex 450 you're probably fine as long as you're not going 3D crazy or have a real hopped up setup. For mid-level sport flying on a 450 I think you're all set; man, for $26 a pack shipped that's pretty hard to beat.

I will run them on my Gaui eventually and certainly my T-Rex 450 report back.

Happy Flying!
