I have heard that you can remove the battery pack that came with the reciever and wire it into the battery pack that is used to run your motors.

Does anyone know how to do it????

I know Im not the first person to ask this question.

Illustrations would help.

Thanks,
Tom

Do you mean a reciever pack? What battery came with your reciever?

TB_IN_EP · 01-07-2007, 04:55 PM

Yes the reciever pack.

The battery pack that requires 4AA batteries.

Why?

kerosinek · 01-07-2007, 04:57 PM

You plug a reciever pack into your reciever in the slot marked "B" or "battery" I dont know how to explain it better than that.

You're right. Which means you could take a few minutes and search for it. Or read the instructions.

I deleted your other thread because you didn't.

TB_IN_EP · 01-07-2007, 04:58 PM

I want to get rid of that reciever pack and run it off of the battery packs that are used to power the motors

kerosinek · 01-07-2007, 04:59 PM

Then just dont plug it in. However, if your ESC has a smaller BEC than 3.0 amps, you'll need a reciever pack of some kind.

TB_IN_EP · 01-07-2007, 05:00 PM

I did try to search but didnt have to much luck.

Is it really that big of a deal?

EeePee · 01-07-2007, 05:00 PM

Yes.

TB_IN_EP · 01-07-2007, 05:01 PM

If i dont plug in the reciever battery pack then how will i gert power to recieve a signal from my transmitter?

TB_IN_EP · 01-07-2007, 05:02 PM

why?

Let me ask this instead.

What should I search for?

kerosinek · 01-07-2007, 06:19 PM

You'll get power from the battery plugged into the ESC. I dont understand why you dont want a reciever pack though.

Big Mike · 01-08-2007, 06:42 AM

You either run an RX pack by plugging it in to your reciever in the "B" slot (4 AA's run the receiver, battery runs the servos and motor) or you don't by unplugging it (everything runs off of the battery) it's that simple.
I'd stick with the RX pack, especially if you are running 2 servos, or a high-torque servo or both.

P47TBolt · 01-08-2007, 07:23 AM

You will get power to your receiver from the speed controller and its power source when the controller is plugged into the receiver.Running a
seperate battery pack for the receiver will depend on what speed controller,what servos and how many.If you are running 1 servo for
front steering you should be ok.2 servos for front and rear steer,you need either a Tekin Rebel 2,Super rooster or run a seperate battery pack.3

When you buy a radio system new,it will include a 4 cell battery holder.
Most electrics will not use this,but you use it with nitro cars/trucks because nitros don't use a speed controller that will power the receiver.Therefore they need a power source for the receiver.
Hope this helps

TB_IN_EP · 01-08-2007, 07:37 AM

Thanks P47TBolt and Big Mike for your help.

Thank you for explaining it the way you did. I usually don't get confused, but this is new to me and I am trying to learn and do things the right way. I know trial and error works, but that can be to expensive.

DRCMAN · 01-08-2007, 02:43 PM

ALso if you are goint to run your 55t and a high torque servo 200oz-up you will want to run a Tekin Rebel2 or equiv. The high torque servo's demand 6v to get the full benifit of them.

^ True, but watch it if you're going to run 2 big servos or digitals. The BEC might not handle it for very long. You might look into a servo regulator. I will get a post up in the next couple days showing how I wired my MPI regulator to the main pack.

I am going to use a EVC Esc. What kinds of motors can I use with that.

I keep hearing the word "turns" used about motors, What does that mean?

Turns refers to the wind of the motor. More turns, more torque. Less turns, more speed.

TB_IN_EP · 01-10-2007, 06:56 AM

so what would you say is a good motor and winding # to get a little of both?
