Supposed to be the dogs danglies... Backed up by a fantastic warranty and reduced cost crash replacement offer.

Unfortunately the only pack in the right range is 850mah and I'd rather 1000-1100mah.

Hyperions are great batts too and I doubt you'd notice much difference if indeed any at all.

its good to have options, right now the hyperion 900mah 45c

Is the only pack i run in that size that doesnt come down hot.

Ive tried a few other brands, and they died quick. Im sure they will have

1000mah version soon.

well I got the packs today, I'm getting some new hyperion vx 1100's to throw in the test lot.

it wouldn't be fair to use my older ex and vx packs here, I've beat on them so many times.

Since my comment earlier, i have some optipower 5000 6s packs that i've used in my 7hv, like Zee said, dogs danglies.

They are just brilliant, come down warm, have more power than i can throw at it and have a brilliant IR. That along with the 50% crash replacement and i'm sold. Well at least for my large helis.

I've 6 hyperion packs that do the job on the X2 very well so no need for swapping yet.
