Title: RC Plane battery Post by: sim_tcr on October 03, 2022, 05:28:48 PM Hello,
I acquired an old (but unused) RC Electric J3 CUB plane (model COX 8212) RTR. I think its a Trainer Plane. Specs are, Weight Excluding battery - 179gm Wingspan - 74.9cm Length - 54.0cm Radio - 27.145Mhz Issue, The battery came with the plane is a Ni-CD battery pack (5 x AAA style cells), Which is a 6V pack and its dead. I tested the electronics and Amp requirement using my charger and I think at full throttle it need around 5A. I have a 2s 800mah lipo weighing 48gm (less than original plane NI-CD pack). Is using a buck convertor to bring down the voltage to 6V and use with the plane a good idea? If so, can any one suggest one convertor which can do 5A? Thanks. |
