C Rating

Hi,
I am planning my first build out and the charger I want needs a XT60 connector but the only good battery I can find is only 20c, would that be enough for this set up?

Thanks,
Trey

20c is good. what mah are you thinking? 4000mah, 5000mah?

Ok thanks GJH and Ringolong,
Ringolong I am going to probably use 3000mAh unless someone says otherwise.

I think you'd me much happier with the flight time you'll get with a 5000 mah, particularly if you're mainly going to be focusing on video photography. If you want something more sporty, you could stick with 3000 mah and jump up to 35C.

Flying with a 5000mah on this one fully loaded with fpv, and a gimbal.

That is one nice build hahahahaha

If you can build it within your budget I don't think you'll regret it. I prefer fast mini-quads and even I get a tinge of envy just looking at it

Thank you all for your replies,
I will upgrade my battery to a 5000mAh since I do want as much flight to to take videos. Also those are awesome videos and you have an awesome build . Also do any of you know of a 5000mAh 4s battery with a XT60 connector I cant seem to find one.

Thanks,
Trey

Take a look at the Multistar 5200mAh, be sure to verify that you can live with 52 amps constant and 104 amps 10 second burst.

So is the first flight under four hundred feet? Im having trouble visualizing that height.

Hobby king is where Id look.

In the US the 400' rule is Advisory unless you are flying commercially. Either way you can pretty much go as high as you want in class G airspace.

Looks like I may have been higher than 400 agl at times, but I honestly can't remember.
