Default RE: Rx battery questions

As the guys pointed out above, with the extra servos you want more capacity..

Also, for the warbird, you may also be looking at having to add extra nose weight. So, it might as well be battery..

I run 8 servos on my Skyraider; 4 digital on the flight surfaces and for standard BB servos for the "other" stuff (throttle, retracts, flaps and bombs)..

I just upgraded to a JR 2400 Extra pack.. I went with good old NiCd batteries because I believe (I - Just I - not trying to start a debate) they are more durable (multiple charges) and will last longer (better shelf life) than the similar NiMH batteries..

With the bigger battery, I took 3 oz of lead off the front and have more capacity..

Now, the JR pack is about twice as much money as the one you are looking at.. Maybe for a reason... But it also comes in a 6-volt pack...

Just my thoughts...
