Futaba 3PM w/ 700mAh?

[Mad4Rnr]

Anybody run the 700mAh rechargable pack on the Futaba 3PM? Whats the run time? I heard they only last like 20 mins before you have to recharge. Here is a link to the batt I'm talking about to:

If you mean using it as a Tx bat, you will get way more than 20 min out of it. If you are just going to use it for a Rx pak to boost servo power, 20 is about right depending on what servo(s) you run. I run 700's in my nitro stuff for Rx pak, I get about 20-30 out of them before the failsafe kicks in.

i would get a pack made through these guys:

www.cheapbatterypacks.com

they will use better cells, and be a little cheaper!

I just made my own using 2500mah AA cells. I get tons of time out of the pack. I can't tell you exactly how long but I know I'll run a few battery packs through my crawler before it needs recharged and each run is around an hour.

I've been using Duracell 2650mAh Mi-MH AA's in my 3PM and 3PDF, I get some decent runt time out of them, but not as long as I get out of streight Alkilines.

Ya CBP rocks!, 8x AA 2200 mAh for only $26, how could you beat it? I should have done it like 80 duracells ago.

Walmart has 8 packs of Energizer 2500mah AAs for under $20.

yeah, but chances are, that $26 also includes CBP assembling a pack for you, too!!
