Default 52 and 52-1 lipo ?

What would be the best lipo for longer flight for the 52 or 52-1. With stock motors. And stock electrics.

Thunderpower 370mAh are just slightly bigger and more bang for your buck, but just about anything other than stock pack will help. Try Hextronic from United hobbies or maybe Polyquest batteries (400mAh/11.1V) for a bargain set (about $23.50 @ hobbylobby). The 800mAh is about $32 and only weighs an ounce more. I'm sure it'll work, but I'd stick with the 400's or less for stock/brushed setups.

You can put a slot-car motor in it and get a bit more headspeed out of it making the extra heft easy to handle.

Sorry for the slow response.

Hotslots carries them for $23.99. P/N 3015-815. It's called an NSR King 38,500 (you can just google NSR King 3850 and it should come up). You have to put it in backwards wired I think (make sure you test it before final install).
