Upgraded to lipo!!! Very easy, split the radio halves, and you can unplug the wire going from the battery tray. It just plugs into the main pcb. I soldered on a female servo plug, and added some wvelcro to hold the 3s lipo in place. I am using the 1450mah tx pack that HC sells. The remote is feather light now.
Still waiting on the HC receivers. I went std shipping so I have another week or so to wait.
Even with the lipo I will have less than 70 bucks in this radio with 6 receivers... Smoking deal.
Bet I sold 500 bucks worth of my old radio gear already and have another couple hundred to go. Time to buy a new gun!!!
I prefer remotes that take 8AA now that I have a couple Tx lipos from turnigy. Lipo seems to last forever in a transmitter!
Yep, they do last a long time. My m11 has a 2800mah lipo in it. I did not use it for 1 yr and have not charged it for the last 4hrs of use and it is still over 11.4v.
