Thank you Colin.

Hi , thanks for this video . What size battery do you recommend ?

[@thebarronflights]

You can use almost any battery as long as it fits inside, but you may want to install a 2S 7.4v 800mha lithium.
For powered versions a 11.1v 3s 1000mah.

@@thebarronflights Thanks for the reply . I have so much wanted to make one of these and am new to rc stuff. will the 7.4 volt battery work with that 2200kv motor ? Or do I need a different motor ?

@@thetwogardens6048 The rule of thumb is the more amps you pull the bigger the battery, your speed controller or (ESC) will be marked for the maximum amount of amps you can draw. Also the size of the propeller comes in to play here, and so if you use a 6x3 prop and a 30 amp esc, with a 2200Kv motor then I would suggest the 11.1 volt 3 cell 1000mha or higher. You have to make sure your battery will fit in to the fuz, so its swings and roundabouts. If you try to go too fast you may pull too many amps and you end up with a smoking wreck. So, rule of thumb helps. It all depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.
