C Rating for Drone LiPo Battery Packs

The short answer is that when it comes to flight times and motor performance, the higher a battery’s C rating, the more likely it will make you smile. A 45C pack makes a joke of a 10C pack when it comes to power delivery. The C rating for a LiPo battery, quite simply, refers to […]

What is the best flight mode for drone racing? (Quick Tip)

There isn’t a perfect all-around flight mode, so the one that you choose depends on what you plan to do. For beginners, Stability mode is the way to go. […]

The Difference Between Analog and HD (digital) Transmission (Drone Quick Tip)

FPV pilots often favor analog systems for their zero-latency signal transmission. Analog inherently comes without latency issues— its transmission travels at the speed of light. With the increased public interest in FPV racing, however, problems have arisen. When racing in the vicinity of other pilots who are transmitting analog signals on the same frequency, receivers […]

The Hyperion G7 Series High-Voltage Lithium Battery Packs add a cutting-edge silicon graphene material that
adds to the performance
and life of our packs.

HV and Regular Battery Pack (Quick Tip)

High-voltage packs can be charged up to a 4.35V peak voltage as compared to the 4.20V for normal LiPo packs. High-voltage LiPos also deliver more motor punch, faster speed, and longer flights. High-voltage battery packs deliver more capacity than standard batteries of the same size and weight, making them a true “free lunch” without any […]
