Re: Single battery for petrol models

Seems off to me...

For the cost of a battery ? £5

Your ignition unit can't drag your RX battery down and loose your model...

What benifit is there in doing this ??

Can't make any sense at all...

Re: What chargers for Lipo's

We have 2 of these use them on 5S 5000MAH's and some 3s 2200 for the models - one is 14 months old one 3 months - both great value.

Re: BATTERY REQUIREMENTS FOR 2.4

Largest I have is 1/4 scale.

All mine are Futaba 2.4 and providing your battery packs are man enough for the job 4 cell should be fine.

That being said I have 5 Cell packs in most of the bigger models for the extra Torque.

Re: What's the lowest cost to get a jet in the air?

Things to be aware of though - some turbines are not all they appear to be - i'd never buy one I hadn't seen running. Though personally i'd really feel hapier know...
