reversed polarity on Rx
I have a jr 1400ma pack that has been sitting around for 6 months. I plugged the batt into my futaba fm reciever backwards. The plug got real warm and I smelled a little smoke. I pulled plug off and took case off reciever. Everything inside looked good all plug wires on batt looked good so i plugged them in again and everything works great. I have good range.
Should I trust this rx and battery combination. As I said It all works perfectly eveytime I want to put this in a TF P-47
If you use jr Battery ALWAYS DOUBLECHECK POLARITY

another thing jr batts have three wires coming out instead of two is the yellow wire not hooked up must be the bwn and red wires for pos and neg.
