Team Helotes 2600 Receiver Pack

[J-Dub]

It will fit in the Mugen 5R box right. It says for Xray but any first hand experience? I dont want to buy the ballistic batterys one because its only 2200 and more expensive.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

yes it will. cant go wrong with those packs

[J-Dub]

Good Gravy. It will be nice to run a whole practice night without charging.

[Michowski]

more like 2 full race days without charging.

[J-Dub]

Lol, I wouldnt go that far, but I bet its probably possible.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

it is lol

[cheesecake]

i raced 2 weekends with out charging and i still havent charged it i will before i go again though

[Michowski]

O its possible cuz ive done it lol. When it charge it put in around 2100mah lol. Still could of either done the practices or race on what was left lol.

[J-Dub]

Well Its on its way to my house probably after the holiday. Hopefully get it for wednesday night. at least I'll maybe get my starter-box posts before wednesday...I hate trying to start my buggy its a PITA on my box atm.

The batts are nice, i got 2 and they last a long time.

[J-Dub]

my 1300 Hump lasted me a practice night. so this will be a good change for me I think, Lol

[J-Dub]

I either got a defective one or my electronics really drain the pack low/dead about 1.5 hours of being on...

It's retarded...I figured it would last longer than that. My servos started to slow down on my 3rd Qualifier yesterday

All I have is a Dx2, Ace 1015 on Steering and JR 9100S on throttle.

[motoxer4life]

I got 2 ace servos and an m11 and mine lasts about one practice night strong.

[Michowski]

I ran 2 airtronics rock servo's, pt, with an m8 on spektrum and mine lasted a weekend easy. I never actually ran mine dead. After a race day at leisure with the quals and a main (my greevo = A MAIN) it would only put in 800-1000mah back into the battery. That includes the practice runs before the quals to. Id see if you can get a replacement if yours died in 1 race yesterday.

talk about high drain what amperage did you charge the pack at?

[J-Dub]

Usually the night before at 1 Amp. I recharged it at the track between my last qual and main, because my steering seemed to be getting a little slow. It might just be me, but I know for a fact the first practice night, it didnt impress me.

[Opliko]

I have the same thing in my buggy, and my steering servo pumps out 370oz of torque, and it lasted me a whole practice night, with about half used up.

[cheesecake]

charge at .5 at 1 amp you shorten the life of the cells and the length of time they will last its a huge diffrenc from charging at .5 amp

[J-Dub]

I dont have a million dollar charger.

[Ponch]

My $50 duratrash charger does anything from .1-5 amps in variables of .1 amp.

[cheesecake]

I dont have a million dollar charger.

i see well maybe you should invest a million dollars into a new charger.......

[J-Dub]

we'll see. I don't really see a charger as a necessary upgrade anytime soon. Since I don't run electric cars I never saw the point of spending some coin.

maybe if I could find a used good one.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

my shitty pirahna charger works the same as ponch's 45$ I usually charge them at .7 amps or 1.1 if i need it charged in a hurry

[J-Dub]

i'll keep getting it in mind, Mike. Don't you still race/need it anymore?

[Michowski]

the pirahna charger is what I used. Charged my pack at 1 amp max. It cost 50 bucks and will charge anything but lipo batts.
