Default Battery Setup For 2.4Ghz

Hi Guys.
I have been reading about all the power related issues when going to 2.4Ghz. I understand that the solution is to ensure you have the proper setup. Here is what I use in my jets currently:

Two 6V 1950 Mah Nimh packs each rated to deliver 40 amps (packs from No BS Batteries)

Two Heavy Duty switches

Each switch is plugged into a different port in the Receiver

This setup should give me nearly 4000 Mah capacity and 80 amps of current.
I have over 150 jet flights with this setup and never had a problem. Will this setup be OK with 2.4 Ghz?

Thanks,
Dom

Dom,
This setup pretty well matches the setup I have in my KingCat with TitanSE power. I use 2 qty 5 cell 2000 Mah Nimh 7mH batteries (from noBS) each connected to the AR9000 RX with its own switch harness. No regulators, diodes, etc. 80+ flights and all is well.

DX7 TX guides her well too!

Yes it will be the same. The only difference is on the 921 it already has two labeled battery ports.

Place of manufacture maybe? I believe the servo ports are inverted from the AR9000 ie; negative lead "down"

Getting a bit off topic?

I run a 4300 LI on the Wren 54 ss and a 2900 LI on the rec. These are 7.2 volt packs regulated down to 5.6 volts. Is this OK?

Dom, pretty much the same setup that I have been using with my AR9000 except that I use twin 1800 ni-cads. On my hornet I was using 300mah per flight, and my T-33 is using even less.

Enjoy,
Dave

I thought I would be OK but wanted to be sure.
