RB all I want to do to this thing is get a bigger battery for it,the stock one only lasts about 10min.Hey Mark your right the thrust motor is bloody noisy the cats hate it.

mate im assuming it takes a 9.6V 600mah pack , i can assure you it would be safe to run it off an 11.1v lipo out of your heli or Mini T as their only 900mah or 1200s .

Just weight the original battery and your lipo to make sure it keeps the thing balanced but yeah , the 11.1 will go for ages .

i once had one of these but not as good as this one, i straped a sparkler bomb onto it and drove it into the middle of the lake, it went bang and i never saw it again :( lol

Thanks for that RB I didn't think of that.I have actually have a 7.4v 850mah lipo here.I might try that and then work up to the 11.1.

7.4V will starve it mate plus it will pulsate on reception after about 2 minutes and most probably too much of a load on the lipo ... just my opinion

thats a fair whack of cash for two fans encased in foam.

And it's pretty ugly as well. But a good concept. Intersting to see where it goes.

I forgot to upload the picture of the lipo in the Hover Beast.It seems to run a lot harder.It is still a shit to control though.
