4S for Power Pack C?

[WillL84]

I've got the FT Legacy V2 with the dual power pack C. I also got the 3S 2200mAh battery that the store suggested. My problem is the plane is VERY tail heavy even with the battery all the way in the nose.

I was thinking of just putting in a bigger (heavier) battery instead of putting a bunch of fishing weights in the nose. Will the Power Pack C twin run with 4S? What should I get? I see a lot of higher mAh 4S batteries meant mostly for trucks and stuff.

You could do a 4s.... if your ESC does 4s, you dont mind spinning the prop tips supersonic and making noise, and watching whether or not you are overheating the motors or ESC.

Well it looks like the 35A ESC that comes with the Power Pack C is rated 2S-4S so that should be fine. The ESC's are also mounted directly behind the motors so they should get adequate cooling.

Maybe just a bigger 3S battery? Maybe something in the 4-5kaH range just for the weight (bonus of additional flight time)

Using 4s with C pack, remember to down size the prop to 9x6.
