HoverMan said:Thanks. While I hate to carve up the new shell, I don't plan on using p2 batteries in the future. Pretty sure I'd stick to 2 or 1 large 5200/5400 battery. If I could find a good large battery that didn't cost an arm and a leg I'd do that. So far Multistar has been the only reasonably priced one I found. I'm sure there's more out there I just don't know what fits.
Also, I'm trying to find a 4 pin cable to extend the led board. I know it doesn't have to be a 4 pin but does anybody know where I can find this cable? I'd prefer not to home-make it.
Edit: I looked up the Pulse. Think it + a Mad Dog together would be ok to run and would they fit? Hoping it may since you said it was thinner.
If you can find a better 5200-5400mAh option to fit in there please let us know! We've been waiting a while for something like the multistar to come out for just that reason. The Walkera was a potential option but I have the feeling the multistar will be a better option if for no other reason than weight and cost.
You can TRY getting a Pulse and a Maddog 2700 in there together, but it'll still require some carving and probably removal of the P2 battery connector inside. I can get two full maddog 2700's in mine that way, but they're still stuffed very tight, and the cabling starts to be a pain with a parallel setup. One of the reasons I like the single-batt setup is the more efficient cabling.
As for the LED extension cable, I've never seen one for sale, but if you're adverse to crimping or soldering one yourself I could whip you up one easily....I have some leads I can just cut to length and pop on the connector it needs.
