Charging in situ

I'd like to charge my Nimh battery in my Tamiya 1/16 RC tank in place. I'd like to just splice some charge wires into the black/red leads on the battery and fix them to a suitable charge plug...

Installing Tailplanes- is there an easy way ?

RE: 2.4 ghz and interference from Spark ignition

Okay, I'll take your word for it at the moment but I might try that in the future. If interference can be generated sans receiver, then 2.4 is not going to protect me completely. Thanks for that,...

2.4 ghz and interference from Spark ignition

I am setting up a GP Yak with a gas engine and controlling it with a 2.4 ghz system. My understanding is that 2.4 is immune to interference from ignitions systems. However, due to CoG limitations,...

RE: Robbe G-300 gyro
