Got some new Glacier Packs for my ZMR

Post by Derek »

I ordered three new 3S 1550mah 45C packs for my ZMR, giving me five 1550 packs. I also have a few 1300mah packs. I was surprised that the dimensions of the packs are so different. I didn't notice that when I ordered them but when I went to the BuddyRC battery page, the size of the 30C packs are longer and slimmer than the 45C packs. The 45C packs are a bit wider and much shorter. Although....flight time is flight time, so I'm a happy dude. Hopefully the rain that's being forecasted today will hold off.

Here's a pic of my batteries. You'll see the 30C pack that I had, already, is longer than my new 45C packs

With the power system you have Derek, 45c may not be enough. :)
Once you progress to prolonged full throttle runs and trying power loops the voltage sag creeps in fairly quick. :)

Well, for now, they are probably gonna be better than the two 30C packs that I have. I'm focusing on throttle management and rudder control right now. Probably not a lot of full throttle

My Multistar packs die in less than four mins at race speeds.
I need to find some better packs.

Mine too, I need some real ones, cheap HK batteries serve their purpose but I need some higher c ones.
If I start tryin flips and rolls with a bit of hang time I hit the LV alarm within 2 minutes.
