RE: *RedCat Racing Tornado EPX Thread*
I just purchased a Redcat Tornado EPX Pro and I like it alot. I have some of my Earthquake 8E Lipos that I put in there and it becomes a crazy fast car. My question is what can I add to the car to have a low voltage cutoff. I ran 1 lipo and I threw it on the charger. Both cells were at 3.0 volts. I know going below 3.2v is bad. Can I program the Novotech ESC? Any help would be great!! Mark

RE: Charging NI-MH and Ni-Cd
Yes I understand that! Mine will do all batteries. I guess I was asking things like charging rates and overall voltage after full charges. I didnt ask the right questions at first.

Charging NI-MH and Ni-Cd
I have a 2200 mAh Ni-Cd and a 2000 mAh Ni-MH. I also have a Battman B6-50W bal charger. I am new to these batteries. I usely charge Lipos. Do I just use the correct settings on the bal charger and charge like a lipo? I know to use the Ni-MH and Ni-Cd settings. Do I charge at 1C or less. Please help. mark

RE: Need some advice!
Well, I have flown the SR. I made my own training gear and took it outside. I got it up about 3 or 4 ft and hovering for alittle then the wind takes it away. I was able to land it ok ( thanks to the gear ) It is harder than I tought. It is addictive though. Going out this am also. Mark

Redcat Backdraft 8E vs Redcat Earthquake 8E
Looking to to get one of these 2 1/8 scale Buggies. Does anyone know the difference between the 2 of them? I know they look different but I am looking for the guts of it. My buddy is going to get the one I don't get. We were wondering if the parts were the same on the two beside the cosmetics. Any help is appreciated! Mark

RE: Blade SR Batteries Upgrade?

Blade SR Batteries Upgrade?
Just purchased the Blade SR on the 3rd. I have been trying to find a battery upgrade. This question maybe in the forum somewhere but I do appologize if it is. It comes with a 3C 11.1v 1000 mAh 15C 15amp battery. It has the JST type connector. WHat can I do if I want a 1500 mAh or bigger battery? Just looking for more run time. I have seen bigger batts but they have the EC3 type connetor. Can I just cut that off and wire a JST to it. Please correct me if I am way off base with what I am thinking. Just new to all this stuff and trying to learn. Help! Mark

RE: Need some advice!
Well I called another LHS in the area and they had an E-Flite Blade SR on the shelf and now it's in my room. I went with the "go ahead and get the 6 ch" advice. Checking everything out and reading the manual tonight. The sales guy said this transmitter has a training mode I could use. Maybe that will help me out. Thanks for all the advise!!! Mark

RE: Need some advice!
I have been looking at the E-Flite Blade SR really hard. I hear you about getting bored with the 4ch heli. That's where I am at now with 3ch. I hate to fly in my house. Just not enough room. My local shop can't get E-Flite. What website is the best to order from? One that is dependable.

Need some advice!
I have been researching all week on trying to find the best 4 channel Heli that I can fly outside. There is soooo much info out there. I am sort of new to flying. I have a simple 3 channel that is getting boring. I am sure I don't want to get involed in the 6 channel stuff yet. (later) I am willing to spend between $200 and $300. I am not bias when it comes to the brands. I just want something that is good outside and is durable. I like the single blade Helis also. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have been looking at the Walkera CB180d but still not sure that is the best choice. Please help!!! Mark
