Radio Help
 
I have a Futaba Fast 2.4 Ghz 6ch radio but it didn't come with a reciever batterie. How do I know what size (in volts) to use.

Thanks in advance

From their web site:

SPECS: Size: 1.6 x 1.1 x 0.35" (40 x 27 x 9mm)
Power Requirement: 4.8 - 6V
Current Drain: 80mA (at no signal)
Weight: 0.35oz (10g) with case
0.25oz (7g) without case

So, as most receivers, either 4.8 or 6 volt pack will work.

You probably bought the version for Park Flyers(comes w/o battery pack) that gets power through the ESC/BEC thingy. (Not really my thing if you can't tell) If you are going to use in a plane with Nitro engine make sure you use correct size servos too.

Check carefully before proceeding. What servos di you have??
