Antipathy has managed a number of spinner demos at Modelworld over the last 2 days on one Hyperion 240mAh 2S1P battery pack. So 300mAh should definitely see you through a 3-minute fight!

One thing to check is the maximum discharge rate. The Hyperions are rated at 25C (i.e. 25 x 240mA = 6A

) Since Antipathy's motor is rated at 4A maximum, the battery will be OK. If you have a higher-rated motor and a battery that is only rated at, say, 10C you may have a problem. Exceeding the maximum discharge rate is a good (bad?) way to kill any type of battery

it is 20c so i think i would be alright for a few seconds at full throttle
