Battery Mods
...next on my hit list. There's no reason why 200+ MAH Li-Po's would not work with a bit of modification. The weight increase is negligible and the run-time would go way up. Just be careful, because there are a lot of so-so Li-Pos out there. Also, I doubt the stock charger gets near capacity, as Kyosho probably errs in the safest range of charge/discharge in order to enhance battery life - not necessarily a bad thing, but not at the performance peak either.
Do read R/C helicopter forums, those guys live and die by Li-Po technology and have very good information on the best chargers, charging rates and quality cells.
I have a lot of Plantrco micro flight equipment and am looking into using their BAHOMA technology to instantly connect an aftermarket cell to a charger, or some of their micro-connectors that can handle the current but are not overly bulky. (Check out Plantraco.com, they have very good knowledge on small Li-POs and connector/charger technology).
