RE: confused about battery hook up
battery plugs into switch then on the other end of the switch is the receiver normal hook up the speed controller is hoked to the throttle terminal with out the red power i am only using signal and ground from speed controller so i don't get any lipo battery power to receiver my real concern is the hydromax 750 ma battery it is new from tower and when i take it off the charger it shows 5.5 volts but will not hold it very long my first thought was i wired it wrong and it was draining but i have done some research and found that the battery and speed controller is wired ok. so just wondering about the health of the battery

Hello all i just got a multiplex mentor and the guy at the hobby shop had a battery on his shelf for a few years 11.1 lipo 2200 mha he sold me cheep.. I got it home and on the volt meter it was 11.4 .. I charged it up with a balance er and got 12.56 I am usto seeing 12.65 on the t rex 450 batteries do you think this 12.65 battery is shot or will it come back thanks all..

RE: 11.1 lipo
I will try again I got a new airplane and its a multiplex mentor The hobby shop that i got the plane from had an old lipo battery in stock The battery is brand new .. it was just sitting on the shelf for a long time ... Me not being to familiar with too many lipo batteries wanted to know what you thought about the old lipo.. so i got the battery home and hoked it to a volt meter and it was about 11.4 volts after the charge it was 12.56. I remember that when my t rex 450 heli 11.1 batteries were charged they were 12.65 on the volt meter So the numbers are close but i just thought some one might have seen this before thanks all..

RE: Cularis
Well i pulled the trigger and ordered the cularis and the power pack now i still need servos and servo extensions leads and battery I have a dx7 and jr 9303 i am thinking of using the 9303 for this one. the 9303 radio dose have a problem it will not shut off i charged the battery with a futaba lead at the field one day and it blew the fuse I replaced the fuse and now it just stays on looks like i will have to send to horizon for repair. What do you all think about the cularis.. thanks..
