I'd go with a 450ma 3 cell. That is a big battery for a shocky. Not sure of the e-flite motor but I use the cc10, axi 2204-54 and hitec hs50 in my shock Extra and its unlimited performance (until I smack the wallsfg57 ). You'll love it

I have a 730, and I can fly for 15-20 minutes depending on maneuvers with my A20-34.

Get the 200-430 range packs and recharge. Your flight performance will be better.

see the only thing about the battery is that i need the balance connector to charge it. i have a cellpro 4S charger and dont feel like buying another charger for one battery.

if i do get a new charger what is a cheap one that will work good?

Your charger requires a balancing input? I'm not familiar with cellpro. I have a triton v1 and love it!

hey edge with the 730 you said that you would get better performance with like a 300 or a 430. can you still hover and do vertical climbs with the 730?

Is it the weight of the 430 that will give you better performance? I have the Eflight Extra 260 and I have a 730 on it. Would I get better performance with the 430?
