Bought a Futaba 4PL....no battery tray?

[Drm31078]

Bought a used futaba 4pl, but when I received it there was no battery tray? Is this defective / broken or is there something I am not understanding?

Thanks!

They have a tray for 4 AA batteries or you can get a life battery pack for it.

Do you have the bottom cover?

Get a life battery for it, plugs in off a standard Futaba jst plug

Did you buy it used? Sounds like someone was using a LIFE battery and took it out when they sold it.

I'd just get a life battery like 351Beno posted a link to.

Thanks guys! Yes, I have the cover for it. So the LIFE battery will just plug in to that 2 prong connector on the bottom?

Yep standard JST plug....If you get a life battery , don't forget a charging adaptor, or make one up

Thanks guys...I contacted the seller and he is sending me the AA battery holder and a rechargeable pack for my troubles! Finally a positive eBay experience!
