Need some help...
 

I want to run 2 batteries for my RX on my 33% laser, and 1 battery on ignition, what switches or what not would I need that you guys sell (I was told you guys have good stuff)

RE: Need some help...
 

Chris,
For the receiver we sell the SuperSwitch ($29.95). This has 18ga wire and a Deans UltraPlug from the battery to the switch (a pigtail and shrink-wrap is included to retrofit the battery to a Deans UltraPlug). For the ignition you can use a regular DSC switch. We resell Cermark DSC switches for this purpose. Also, you did not say what kind of batteries you are running. We also sell regulators if you are running lithium packs. Let me know if I can answer anything else.

Thanks I'm gonna use Expert Electronics 1500mah nimh packs.

RE: Need some help...
 

Chris,
In that case, the SuperSwitch will work great for you. If you have not ordered the packs yet you might ask if they will put 18ga or 16ga wire with a Deans UltraPlug on the pack for you. I also like to have a second pigtail with a regular R/C connector for charging and what not.

RE: Need some help...
 

These are the packs I have, I can move one to ignition and just have the otehr for something else if I can;t use them. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Shop/ByC...ProdID=EXRB201 those are the packs...what mods will I have to make or would it be easier to just get new batteries?

Chris,
If you are comfortable with a soldering iron then we supply the pigtail you need with the switch. You would have to take off the shrink-wrap, and then solder our pigtail to the same tabs as your current lead is soldered to (leaving the old lead on). We supply new shrink-wrap to re-package the pack.

What exactly are the pig tails? is it just for the deans leadif so I would be more comfortable just getting some lipos and regulators and putting one of my batteries onto the ignition and the other just in another plane. do you have a pic of the pigtails thing? Sorry if my questions are/seem really stupid I just wanna do it right.

RE: Need some help...
 

Chris,
The pigtail is a Deans UltraPlug female soldered to two 18ga wire, one red and one black. The other end of the wire is loose so you can solder it onto your battery terminals. If you are not comfortable with this then I would suggest you get some batteries with a Deans UltraPlug female as the output plug already configured for you.

RE: Need some help...
 

ohh i get it I thought the pig tails was like a charge lead or something. So just a battery with ultra deans

RE: Need some help...
 

Yes, the SuperSwitch on the battery side has a Deans UltraPlug and you need to mate to it from the battery.

RE: Need some help...
 

Ok I gotcha, thanks a million I'll be ordering when I get money :D

RE: Need some help...
 

One last question I am considering running 2cell 2000mah lipo's 2 of them on the rx, would I need 2 regulators or do you guys have somethign that i plug both into and it regulates both, like your batshare but with regulators but i think the bat share is for 2 rx's is this correct?

RE: Need some help...
 

Chris,
We will have a regulator that has a built in BatShare and Failsafe switch in about 1-2 months. There will be two versions, one for planes up to a 35% size that will handle 7.5 amps and a second for planes larger than a 35% that will handle 17 amps. The BatShare is meant for using two batteries and a single regulator for a single receiver.

RE: Need some help...
 

Oh ok I will wait I guess as I won't be able to buy for a bit. thank you!

RE: Need some help...
 

Well I talked with Zak West and we figured out what I should get for my plane, and I was makign a list but didn;t see hte cermark switches on yoru site (for ignition) how much are they?

RE: Need some help...
 

Chris,
They are on the bottom of the Ignition Cutoff page. I need to move them up. They are $14.95.
