Who has properly configured a charge to handle the "backwards" wiring on a JR XS3 when using rechargeable batts? and What charge rate is recommended?

Any tech data or links is appreciated.

Revo2k has done it, he has a duratrax piranha charger where the outputs are on the detachable wires in the front, in this case all you do is buy the adapter to fit the charger and plug the postive into the negative and the negative into the positive

Just go to your lhs and buy the plug from JR usually inthe wire/switch section. Plug costs like $5, then just reverse the wires make the outside of the plug hot and the inner negative. put a tamiya plug on theother end and plug it into the charger lead as usual.

George, thanks. I know you told how to do that when I got the radio from you but I killed those brain cells off a long time ago. Now that I am getting rechargeables from Kevin I figure I better get it set up right. Thanks again!

Is the same true on the Spektrum DX3 as I hear it's basically a JRXS3?

I would think, because all Jr's are backwards, but I would double check!!!

Just looked up the Spektrum manual online and it has the same charging jack info as the JR manuals. Page 11.
