RE: Need a new transmitter system
Note that the synth radios use more power so the battery will run down faster. I would plan on getting a second and larger pack if you like to fly all day, as I do.
1800 MAh NiMh packs are very reasonable. I have 2000 and 2500's in my Hitec Prism 7X and Futaba 9C. I keep the stock battery as a spare.
