Status: offline 		2.4 doesn't matter at all. I use them on 72 and 2.4 in every size airplane from a 40 Proyak to a 33% Pitts with a 50cc gasser. I use the Black and Decker VPX packs for making my rx batteries. Or for the larger 2300's, I took apart a Dewalt 36 volt pack and made 5 receiver packs. You can buy them prebuilt but I don't know where. Maybe Google them or wait for some one who has bought them that way.

He has a starter package that comes with one 2300 A123, Cell Pro A123 charger and connections
His batteries have a nice 18 gauge leads and the leads are about 10 inches long

With 4 digital servos on a 120 size profile I can have 8 x 10 minute flights and be at half capacity or just below.  This is based on the mah taken when recharging.
