[attachimg=1][attach=1]

Managed to get my hands on a 10C battery for my 250 quad. Going to do some comparative  flight time tests soon! The battery weights shown include leads and connectors. Does anyone else have any flight time information?

what amps do your motors pull..
might be pushing it a bit with 10c lipos.

them lipos can handle 3000mah=30a,2100mah=21a,2450mah=24.5a.
be carfull they could puff up if your pushing close too its max or over..

I';ve never measured the current on my 250 I';ll have to check this.

The 3000 battery is a 10c = ~30A   the 2100 is a 35c = ~73A  and the 2450 is a 35C = ~85A

Flight time on the 2450 is ~8 - 10 mins

I was going to say that my sunnysky motors on full tilt is just about tolerant of 35 c 1500 zippies (on a coolish day)
