Re: [RCSE] Transmitter pack - Walmart 1850 mAh AA cells

I lost a brand new Xtreme last year at CASA in quite spectacular fashion due to a dead cell in the (new) airborne pack. Don't try to save money on batteries. I saved about $12 on the airborne pack by using "decent" quality bulk nicads. For that $12 savings, I turned a beautiful $1000 molde

Re: [RCSE] Antennas in carbon booms

Kirk's test may be kinda rough but I won't agree that it doesn't tell anything. As a matter of fact, it is in line with the experience reported by many that installing antennas inside carbon fuselage does not result in noticeable reduction in range. Would like to hear some constructive suggesti

RE: [RCSE] Transmitter pack - Walmart 1850 mAh AA cells

Andrew, If you follow the digital camera forums, you'll see these mentioned all the time (1600+Mah NiMh batteries). I have read that there are some in the 1800Mah range that are pretty reasonably priced, and can be had with a 1 hr charger. I would guess that those can be fast charged no problem. I

Has anyone tried to use the Walmart Energizer AA size 1850 mAh Ni-MH cells in a transmitter pack? From the data I've been able to gather on these, they are limited to C max (they seem to be rated to 2C but royally suck at that). My 8103 takes about 250 mA, so they should be just fine. Not good f
