Hello, i'm kinda new to electric flying, got a multiplex easy star about six months ago, been doing pretty good with it, and the wife got me a multiplex twinstar at x-mas...not doing pretty good so far with it.Anyway my questions are about battery packs ....my easy star came with a 6 cell (7.2v) 1200mah and a friend gave me 2 other same cell count and same mah...my question is i see online you can get 6 cell packs with alot higher mah i know that that is milli amp hours, so why not a 6 cell 2400mah or 4500mah for longer airtime? When i got a battery for the twinstar, the guy at my LHS said this is all i need, it's a 8 cell (9.6v) 1000mah ,but with 2 motors again dont you want the highest mah you can get??:confused:

It is a capacity vs weight question. A 6 cell 1200 mah pack could weigh 5 ouncs. A 6 cell 4500 mah might weigh 13 ounces.
