    For batteries, I’d go with the 4S 3200 if your ESC and motor support it — you’ll get more punch and longer flight times. Just make sure your setup can handle the extra voltage.
    If you’re more into smooth, easier handling, 3S 3200 is solid and a bit gentler on the components.

        The Eflite Air Tractor is designed and marketed to handle both 3s and 4s. I think that's why he's asking. No need to check to see if it'll handle 4s. Which one to choose depends on how you fly and what your future plane plans are. IE, will those batteries be useful for other planes?
        In a nutshell ....................... 4s - nice to have it and don't need it - better than not having it and needing it. If you fly (as they say), "scale" and just cruise around, then 3s is likely enough. If you like that extra bit of punch when you want it or need it to get out of a jamb, 4s might be better. (Eg. Getting near stall in certain circumstances when you really need that "get up and go" and little time to react, you'll wish you had 4s.)

            Why do you quote someone and then change their username to a SPAM link?

              Vipe,

              What do you want me to do?

              I can ban the guy (ishdunbird​) or send him a warning.

              Doesn't matter to me.

              Best, LB

                I banned ishdunbird for an additional spam post. Again, thank you for your service, Sir.

              LB, warnings won't matter to these sorts. He had at least 4 - 5 posts that he planted here, with intensions of going back later so he can use them (as place holders) to either quote someone else or quote himself to embed SPAM. All we can do is analyze all recent weird posts (which I'm happy to do) from new users and wait for them to come back and embed crap. Those original "planted" posts are generally vague, non-descript, robotic or poor english phraseology.

                  I usually permanently ban any spammer and will continue to fight the good fight.

                    3S 3200 is smoother and safer for longer flights, while 4S 3200 gives more power and speed. Start with 3S, then try 4S if you want extra performance.
