Hi everyone,
I’ve been running old DB12R with 4 cell nimh for few season and finally I‘m getting 1c lipo.
I will be getting RR lipo spec soon but I need little help.
1. Booster thing every one is talking, do I need this? And if so which brand is the best?
2. What else do I need to get to run 1c lipo?
3. How much weight does everyone add on? And where does everyone put it on?
4. Do I need to get faster motor to get same speed as 4 cell?
5. Dose run time going to be issue in Mod?(3.5-5.5 motor)
I use SP GT v1.0 ESC, AMB PT, Novak 5.5L or 6.5L BL motor, Futaba S9602 servo, Futaba 2.4 GHz R603FS receiver and 200mah receiver pack with regulator.
I’m hoping to get rid of receiver pack and regulator, as they are nightmare to charge between heats. I run out door in Mod here in Australia.
Sorry for many questions, any help will be great.
Thanks
1) Some ESC and reciever combinations will work ok without one but it is highly recommended to run either a booster or a receiver pack.
2) A LiPo compatible charger if you don't have one.
3) That is going to vary from driver to driver depending what electronics are used.
4) With the same motor as you were running it will be slower than it was with 4 cell. But what motor you run will depend more on your class rules then how fast it is.
5) I'm not sure on this but I don't think it should be. LiPo packs are still around the same Mah rating (4000-5000Mah) in 1 cell and that is what really determines run time.
