    60" Extra 300 EXP

    yeah that should be way more than enough power. ive gotten into adequately powered lately instead of massively over powered, just because for me it is more manageable and gives me more control and smooths out the plane. also less power is more difficult to get into trouble down low haha

    Series Adaptor/Arming Plug Setup

    right, but remember my wacky setup of running on two bec's? if i wired it that way, each BEC wouldve seen 12s, and i wanted them to see 6s to get the maximum amperage capability out of them

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    battery tray failure
