Title: Confusion about batteries Post by: freeflyer on July 01, 2011, 10:38:58 PM As I am slowly budding into this hobby I happen to build my first glow plane and got a futaba 7c tx + rx and was wondering what do I need to power the receiver (R617FS) and servos (S3004)...still not sure which battery pack to be used and where to buy it in India ?

There are alternative, and they are better for many reasons. See the thread below for a discussion on receiver batteries. Many stores carry different varieties of suitable packs.

Most of the discussion is about TX packs, but there is useful information about RX packs too. See this thread also : http://www.rcindia.org/batteries-and-chargers/suggestions-for-rx-batt-pack/ |
