| jrman83 | If you go to the Goblin 280 forum and look at the battery thread. It appears that a few different packs are coming out for the 6s Fireball. The 280 is essentially the same size at the 270 and I would think the packs would be compatible. Worth looking at anyway. I wouldn't want e-flite packs either. | |

| Nee #1 | Gens Ace has a 1050mAh 6s that is very close in size and weight to the eflight comes with the ec3 connector and is only $18.xx available from their website with 10% discount to sign up to news letter I have mine on the way now... | |

| crsorrell0653 | You can get a Hyperion 1700mah in these by facing the leads backwards and moving the canopy holes rearwards by 10mm. Same size as a Gens Ace 1200, but lighter. I have posted pictures in previous posts. | |

| ssschmidt4 | It's sad this heli does not accomodate other batteries! It's a sweet flying bird!! | |

Only issue is size preventing the canopy from being fitted, though in that respect their neon orange color makes the 270 a lot more visible without the canopy than the green Pulses. |

Two ReadyMadeRC 1000mAh 6S 60c batteries arrived today. I'll try them out sometime this week and report back. They're virtually identical dimensionally to my Pulse 1050mAh 6S 75C batteries. |

What I have found with EC3 is the male pin will expand slightly if exposed to high heat for very long. Kind of hard to keep from happening since the bullets need high heat, but I sink the pin in a very tight hole in a 2X4 while soldering and it keeps this from occurring. Same thing can happen to EC5. Maybe try and redo your ESC connection? Easy way to check is to take a spare unused male pin and stick in the battery connection and see how tight it is without having been exposed to any heat yet. |

An o-ring plier of the "outie" version will make separating the EC3 connector simple with no damage... Local hardware store or Harbor Freight |

| Inverted Hokie | I'm stuck with E-flite b/c I bought 5 of them. Only thing I can say is the EC3 connectors are not very user friendly. Got to jam the crap out of them to make sure the male and female parts are together fully. Hard to remove too! I use some silicon grease in the connectors, so this helps somewhat. I also use it on the motor lead connectors as it's easy to hoze up the shrink tubing if you disconnect. | |

Second set of gromet holes in the can aren't that noticeable once you put the gromets in. Can even use a light colored gromet you can make any color or leave light so they're hardly visible at all. Just a thought |

 I bet it you don't have to add weights to the front now. I had to add some weights due to slight tail heavy issue. 230s is that way also. Glad it works for you. |

| ssschmidt4 | I have built mock batteries out of popcicle sticks and built to demensions of several different batteries! I really dont want to poke new holes in canopy in attempt to fit various batteries! In my conclusion, none of them fit besides the eflight with out some modification. I plan on cutting frames down to lower battery tray like another guy did in this forum! I am confident after the frame mod a pulse 1050mah will fit no problem!! | |

So has anyone tried the orange packs from RMRC? They look to be similar in size to the Optipower ones and only slightly fatter than stock https://www.readymaderc.com/store/in...oducts_id=5432 Or is there a better battery to go with? |

| jrman83 | sorry, wrong forum. | |
| 11-25-2016 08:14 PM | ||
| ssschmidt4 | Can you show a picture of how your leads come out and connect? | |
| 11-25-2016 08:08 PM | ||
| crsorrell0653 | I've been using Gens Ace 1200mah. Requires the canopy holes to be re-positioned about 10mm rearward, the leads can stick out the top and be joined after the canopy is fixed - works well. I have since found some Hyperion 1700mah ones the same size as the Gens Ace but lighter. HP-HV80C1700S6- these are good for the 360 as well. | |
