| I agree, buy more batteries. It is much easier on the batteries to "slow charge" them like the supplied charger does.
Fast charging batteries puts more strain on them just like exceeding (or even ap ... |

| Lama V3 can easily reach 30 MPH at drastic tilt with stock motors, if you don't believe that, then you obviously haven't flown an Esky Lama V3 outdoors too much.

Sometimes with the V3 a hard impact or too much throttle change too quick will loosen the bottom collet (lock collar). You can ... |
