I'm upgrading mine so need a new set.
Open to all options but am mainly focussed on a min 7-Ch or 9-Ch Radio With FailSafe at the least
Also, Anyone selling RCB 7x - ONLY Tx. Let me know.
BONUS to that , I also am searching for a LiPo, Min 5000mAh at a good price ( last I bought was of ZippyMax for 2600 ) so please say a competitive price. ( liPo is not urgent so will buy only if a good deal is there )
If you are upgrading, you might as well go for a FlySky 9x. It is a better choice than the RCB7x since it much more customisable. It does not have a failsafe but you should be able to program a failsafe on the flight controller (assuming you upgrade from kk 2.1).
I would suggest that you buy the LiPo new since they have limited life. I would feel a lot more comfortable knowing how the LiPo had been treated when I have it. Buying new will let you get the most cycles out of your pack too.
Yes I am upgrading but not want to break the bank too :P
And yes I meant new LiPo , Tx used is fine , not LiPo :P
Anyone ??

The FlySky 9x is being sold at 5000-5100 here and 6000 from RCMumbai. I would suggest you add a LiFe pack to use with this (around 1K from Indian.hobby.Shop and 8$ from HobbyKing). Just make sure your charger supports LiFe.
The RCB7x is available at just 3500 from Subhash Sir which you've already booked but I think the FlySky is the better radio for the long run.
1> I'm not looking for buying from the LHS, Prices are generally high.
2> LiPo vs LiFe ? I have the IMAX B6 Charger and I dont think so it has LiFe...
3> I am interested in the FS 9x , ribz was selling it at around 5K, but his is out of stock too ..
Parichya, on an Imax B6, you can charge any Lithium or Nickel composition batteries...
ok ... whats the benefit of LiFe vs LiPo? Pros and cons ?
LiFe is better suited for transmitters since their voltage is 9.9V fully charged, which is closer to the AA cells than a LiPo. This means that less energy is wasted as heat from the voltage regulator. Plus, they have lower self discharge rates than NiCad and NiMH cells. I can't think of any cons right now.
oh ok alright.
Still I think ill stick with LiPo for the mainstream usage basis XD
bumping

What if the transmitter requires 12V? Wouldn't 9.9V be too less?
The regulator in the Transmitter is an LM7805 5V regulator as far as I know so any voltage above that should be fine. I had wrongly said on your thread that 8 AA batteries is 9V (I don't know what I was thinking :banghead:: ). I had even read about some 2S LiPo conversions of the CT6B but those threads said that they might not supply enough power. A 3S LiPo should work but it might not be good for your transmitter. AA NiMH cells are also a good choice (supposed to be 1.2V per cell fully charged though mine go a bit higher)
SK, A 3S LiPo will work very well with that radio, and NiMh or NiCad batteries charge above 1.2V per cell that's normal .
@Cycloned, you can get any 3S LiPo or LiFe pack that fit's inside the battery compartment. (One option is Turnigy 1450mAh Tx pack)
anyone ? no one ?
many out there who want to sell their rcb7x tx only, dont know why no reply!!

JK
yea :/
