    WOW! Minor quip but that would be two 6s bats in series for 12s. Have a good one!

    You are way ahead of me using the telemetry as well. I just couldn't see relying on a timer alone. I was thinking of those little lipo voltage monitors that just beep when you hit the threshold. I have had a DX8 since they first came out when I was on glow. I left the TM1000 in the box as I...

    Thanks guys, great advice as always. It certainly makes sense to disable the LVC and I will make it my goal. What I couldn't understand was how ZTW could get those settings so (dangerously) wrong. It's like they haven't a clue about LiPos. 2.8 volts?? I parallel charge a lot (but not...

I will be shopping for an ESC (70-80 amps, thanks again for the tip) and servos when we go down to the Toledo show in a couple of weeks. There is still a pretty good chance that I can get it ready to go...

    Hi guys, first post here. I would like to tap your collective brains to guide me on a power setup. I am looking for the optimum 3s power setup for one of the 48" 3 lb birds that are out there. My issue/problem is that all of my 3s packs are nanos 3300s (yea, I know) but I have a dozen of them...
