I purchased a Trex 500 and am curious how to fit (2) - 3s 2100MAh batteries.

If you stack the two batteries on top of each other then the canopy will not fit. I put one above the battery tray and one below the tray with velco.

I think they are loose at the front due to pulling them forward to get my CG and therefore my heli wabbles (even though I up the head speed) forward and back like a seesaw.

Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestion for battery placement and to correct the wabble.

Thank you,

Michael

I use 4S packs right now with 17T ,,, soon going to 5S with 15t/16t ... i have played with 2X 3s packs if you Dlb side tape them together on top of each(stacking) and put them in the 500 on the sides so you see the seam they should fit good with 6S use the 12t for head speed the wobble should go away mine is balanced good with just 4S .. i am just fighting the tail with a g770-3d its close to locked in now ... i plan to fly again today now its finaly above 0 :)

Oh I use 2 Velcro Wraps on my packs too ;)
