Thunder power 4s eflite 15
« on: August 13, 2024, 06:53:37 AM »
Hi all, would a Thunder power 2800 4s be enough for a Eflite 15, 11X5.5 apce? It's in a Genesis I.
Thanks

Hi Dwayne:

I am using 4S TP2800's in my Vector ARF s. The flying weight is about 48 oz and use the APC 11 x 5.5 prop. Battery usage is usually in the
1900 - 1980 range for the pattern. Depending on the weight of the Genesis the 2800 's should be more than enough.

Thanks guys, the reason I'm asking is I bought one of these and it comes down with only about 4% left, I should know better then buying cheap crap off Amazon but I'm in Canada and with Amazon there's no shipping charge, once again live and learn, you get what you pay for...lol

Hard to compare the data from a quality battery like the TP 2800/4s to a mystery pack. 
Here in N.Utah, Roger Kramar is using the TP2800/4s in a 49-50oz Pathfinder, RTF.  Cobra 2826/930kv, APC 12x6 cut down to 11". 
He lands with around 22-25% left.  Great flying combo for him.

As others have mentioned, the E-Flite Power 15/TP2800/4s should power the Genesis-1 if you can keep the weight in check. 
Bob Hunt used the Power-15 and a Hyperion 4s/2500 in his 46oz Oosa-Amma.

yes it powers the Genesis perfectly, I'm presently using Nanotech 3000mah from Hobbyking, they weigh 272 grams but I only have 3 and the new Nanotechs are from a different manufacture and they now weigh 310grams  HB~> So I'm trying to find something that won't mess up the CG and add weight.
