If you select 3s (11.1v) it should take it all the way up to 12.6 and then stop automatically. You need to set the charge current at 1.3 amps ( for a 1300mah battery) dont set it any higher than that for a 1300mah battery. The battery needs to be fully charged at 4.2 v per cell. in your case...

No, but its such a small amount that it shouldn't matter. This is an interesting problem and I'm looking forward to learning what's happening. Stick with it until you figure it out so we can all learn too. Just to clarify again, a fully charged (3S) battery is 12.6 v

Agreed, one km is plenty. They do make after market stuff to increase range.

most all balance plugs are JST and that's a deans connector so probably any basic charger will do. if you had something in mind you could post a link and we could say for sure.

If your just starting out you may want to go a little heavy (thus slower) while you learn. As long as the bigger batt doesn't effect handling. I know the serious racers that use 1300mah because it's lighter and still gives them the duration that they want. But these guys are serious and they can...

If one motor is drawing twice as much that would be a good place to start. when you land after your battery goes dead check for heat on all of your components. If something is way hotter than everything else that is an indicator as well. A fully charged 3S lipo is 12.6V, It says 11.1 on the...

I built a Tarot 680 as well as many others here. I will help if I can.

This has all been very helpful as I am getting ready to build a 960 class multirotor.

I second that on the extra props. Consider extra battery's too and read up on lipo battery's cause there's things worth knowing about them. I'm really interested in learning how the quanum nova works out for you. It's a phantom clone type quad but hopefully a good quad for your first. Fly...

Excellent point, I haven't thought of that.

Yeah, no one wants to point out the obvious with a terrorist related incident. We could all get grounded pretty fast. Hate to even think of it.

Well good luck with your surgery and I hope your gps is okay too.

And just to confirm, are you using the typical 5.8 ghz video transmitter?

Ok, so you think it was your video transmitter interfering with the gps? But I thought you said you took the Mobius and video transmitter off the quad and it still wouldn't get a gps lock?

I'm not sure TW but are you saying one of them works and 3 of them don't?

I won't argue with that. But it's looking like it's going to happen whether we like it or not. The politicians and bureaucrats have us in their sights. They only know how to regulate, tax and get in the way of things.

I extended my gimbal mounting rails and it only worked out so so. It made it so forward heavy that I had to really move my battery back to counter the imbalance. And I still get the props in the picture but not all the time. I finally just canted the camera down just a little and that took care...

Well it looks like it's not related to your FPV. I don't know anything about the blade qx but I had a minor flip and crash on my quad and broke the GPS compass. It would never get a satellite lock again. I put another compass on it and it worked fine. If your compass is exposed and it receives a...

A lot of guys start out with a DJI phantom and quickly out grow it. Its on par with the blade 350 they tried to sell you. If your handy with soldering and such I would recommend a flamewheel 450 kit. It's the next logical step. only thing is you need a radio too. You don't have to go with a go...

Funny you should bring this up. I'm getting ready to start a new build and I just became aware of this issue and read up on it and I think I understand it. I'm going to mount my ESC's under the motors and add additional capacitors just before the ESC. They sell this little 6pack of caps and they...
