what lion or lipoly would work in my evo50? i have 4 9252 and a 401w9253.

2400 Fromeco Peerless packs work great. The 2800 flat packs from Duralite also worked well in my machines.

i have been lokking at the peerless. what regulator do you use? i like the pin switch but what kind of connectors to use on it?

lakespinner2 · 05-30-2006, 09:03 AM

Roughly how many flights would you expect on the 2400 fromeco pack with that electrical setup ? I'm installing a very similar setup on a raptor 50 today. I'm already wondering if 2400 is enough with all digitals. thanks.

I'm running a 5.4 regulator on my system from Batteries America I believe. The Arizona regulator looks sweet, but I opted to stay cheap for the moment and spend only $20 on the regulator instead of $60.

As for the number of flights, with a full digital machine I'm averaging anywhere between 5 and 7 flights per charge. Seems that I'm able to get more flights per charge when the weather is warmer.

Kinger, that's great. Is that with 2400's ? I was expecting only 2 or 3 flights with the peerless 2400 but I don't have any experience with all digitals on anything frisky. I'll be overjoyed if I can get 4. :wink:

Kinger · 05-30-2006, 11:02 AM

Yep that's on a 2400 Peerless pack.

collectivepitch · 05-30-2006, 11:09 AM

Thanks kinger! i will be getting the 2400 pack & regulator.

There might be something else quirky with my Evo 50 set-up, but I initially tried a 2400 Relion pack and found it to be tail-heavy. Exchanged it for a 4800 Relion and it balances perfect now. I talked to the folks at Fromeco and decided I only needed 2400mAh for a 50-size running all digitals at 6V, but I'm even happier now that it balances and I have twice the capacity. I get 6-8 flights before hitting the 7.0v no-fly voltage under 1-amp load.

No mine was tail heavy with 2400 Lipos. I switched back to 3600 Sub Cs and it balances fine. I flew it while it was tail heavy and never noticed a problem until someone else checked the balance.

Endo · 05-30-2006, 08:56 PM

I'm getting 8 to 10 flights under some heavy 3d. Relion 4800 and Arizona reg.
Balanced out great too.
I will never go back to sub c's

SteveL · 05-31-2006, 07:33 AM

I was pretty sure it would take the 4800s to balance right. I had a cheap regulator and when my pack failed (Using a duralite charger on non Duralite packs) I got to reading about cheap regulators failing so I went back with the sub cs. If I had more money I would get the set you have.

Try a carbon tail boom and brace set. This helps the C of G with the lighter batteries.

I had a 5200 fromeco relion and just bought an EVo90 with a 2400 relion. Put the 2400 in the EVo 50 and addd some lead to the nose.
