I have enjoyed the little Tundra so much I thought it was time for something with a little more acro in it. So this morning I went and got me an Eflite Extra from Graves r/c. It said it is compatible with 3 or 4 cell LiPo and I have a couple 3's so I did not get any more. It flies ok but 4's would have been so much better, so I ordered a couple 4's.

Drop a 13x6.5 APC on the Tundra and watch it wake up. Just don't go using extended amounts of WOT with it as it pushes the stock ESC but just flying normal I got better thrust as well as longer flights times.

I appreciate the heads up but not necessary as it does what I need it to do. But I will make a note of it for the next time at the HS. BTW, is that for electric, as I will not assume.
Take off is the only time it see's full throttle and I get longer than I am willing to stand there and fly it. I'm hoping the 4 cell will do the same with the Extra.

The Extra on 4s is freakin amazing. You’ll love it.

I bought a tundra. Installed an orange receiver and all worked except the throttle. Got a few suggestions elsewhere and kept trying. Switched to a spectrum receiver, same problem. Tried another radio, no change. My tundra sits wasting space in my shop.

Will it give any beeping tones?
