I have enjoyed the little Tundra so much I thought it was time for something with a little more acro in it. So this morning I went and got me an Eflite Extra from Graves r/c. It said it is compatible with 3 or 4 cell LiPo and I have a couple 3's so I did not get any more. It flies ok but 4's would have been so much better, so I ordered a couple 4's.

Drop a 13x6.5 APC on the Tundra and watch it wake up. Just don't go using extended amounts of WOT with it as it pushes the stock ESC but just flying normal I got better thrust as well as longer flights times.

I appreciate the heads up but not necessary as it does what I need it to do. But I will make a note of it for the next time at the HS. BTW, is that for electric, as I will not assume.
Take off is the only time it see's full throttle and I get longer than I am willing to stand there and fly it. I'm hoping the 4 cell will do the same with the Extra.

The Extra on 4s is freakin amazing. You’ll love it.

I bought a tundra. Installed an orange receiver and all worked except the throttle. Got a few suggestions elsewhere and kept trying. Switched to a spectrum receiver, same problem. Tried another radio, no change. My tundra sits wasting space in my shop.

Yup mine is all stock except for the larger prop.

Will it give any beeping tones?
