    Quick question; What battery can I use for my Eachine Racer 250? I know the one that came with the box will do but I want longer flight times. The stock battery is 11.1V 1500mAh 25C 3S battery.
    I am prepared to buy 4 batteries with multiple charges so that way I can have extended flight days.
    I would also like to compete in racing and stunts. Did I select a good drone?

    Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    The Racer is OK, the problem with a larger, hence longer battery will be the balance point. Does it balance dead center now?

    It's very well balanced at the moment.

    It is? Maybe this is an earlier version.

    Hmm.....

    Well if the balance is off, the quad/flight controller has to work a lot harder to to keep it level, which also needlessly strains the motors and which will also shorten flight times. Due to it sitting up against the FC it can't be shifted forward, you might also want to consider some sort of barrier between the battery and the flight controller to help prevent it from being damaged in a hard crash.

    Good luck.

    I apologize, I thought you meant balanced in flight. I have had a drone before where I added a larger battery and it was unable to stay centered while hovering.
    To better answer your question, it still is a tad heavy in the rear.
