Hobbyzone Super Cub on 8-cell Battery Pack

I bought an 8-cell 1500mAh battery pack last week and it arrived today, so we're checking out how the Super Cub flies with some extra juice. It has a lot more power and longer run times, a definite must-upgrade for any Super Cub owner. http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com

u should put deans plugs on the battery you will get more volts:)

[aktiondan]

I did even better than that, I put in a 3S lipo with Deans, and get lots more volts. =) But the motor doesn't last near as long. I've burned through two of them already.

Make your own packs!!

Solder and cells are cheap, wrap em with some electricians tape... :)

Gotta learn to solder first though.

[aktiondan]

I did make that one pack, and it was crap, as I mentioned. But even if you know how to solder, soldering cells isn't the best way to make packs, the right way is with spot-weld tabs. No heat required. Packs are cheap anyway, about the same cost as making one really, but without the time involved. Just my opinion. I've since bought a lipo pack and personally believe that is the best way to fly. And those I would recommend buying also, and not making. =)

your landing gear are on backwards. they should be turned around so they are angled towards the front so it looks like its actually on the gear covers

[aktiondan]

They bend after a few hard landings, that's all. I bend them forwards, and then they get bent back.  There is no backwards/forwards to how they go on, they are straight. They just don't stay that way for long.

Oingo Boingo! Cool video!

[stormranger6]

How did you mount the motor? what propeller did you use?

thanks!

[stormranger6]

AGREED

Ya the 8 cells are pretty cool. I bought the parkzone 8 cell that was made for the cub, but I haven't flown it with the neo battery pack yet but I've done some testing and the plane gets a lot more thrust. It's awsome.

Your video is still great. I love super cub.

hello everyone, can say to me someone which akkus is used here, because I hold for a very good idea with several akkus, so that one can fly longer.but writes please with all apostrophe and so on, because I come from Germany and cannot yet so well English

[kitedude7]

I swapped out the motor for a 480 brushless with a 30 amp esc and a 1800 li-po. You should see this thing go!!!! When I get some one to come out and film it, I will stick it on here. With the super cub you don't have to spend a lot of money to have great fun!!!!

Nice flying, nice vid : )

[tonysandrin]

What's the difference between the first 8-cell you showed (the crappy one) and the second you showed (the good one)? Which one actually came with the plane?

[romeosierracharlie]

Cool! I'm going to get a better battery now! Have you done any other mods to it?
