Good evening, all. I am an ancient retiree/music teacher/grandpa, and I have little experience in RC flying. I have been fooling around since the mid-seventies with RC cars, gas and electric, 8th and 10th scales, but am primarily a backyard player since we have had no local competetion for years.
You'd think I'd know for sure about the following after years of fiddling with electric RC cars ( I back-voltaged and burned up too many speed controls to ever be confident about what I was doing) but I am wondering if it is safe to try to use an 8th scale gas receiver-pack to power my Mini-Max. I've been looking at it for a couple of days, wondering if I I will burn up the new GWS 4p receiver and the new Electri-fly C-10 speed control I just got if I connect them up to that five cell receiver pack off one of my 8th scale gassers. I did actually try it ever so briefly, but I may not have the speed control plugged into the proper bay on the receiver; anyway, nothing happened, and I was afraid to pursue it any further! Thanks for reading, and any solid advice appreciated! Glen Priest in Portland, Indiana.
