Do you guys with the reciever pack have to charger them after each race? is there a pack that will last a whole day of racing? What is a life pack why would you use this instead of a lipo pack?

I use a 330mah lipo. I only use about 80mah a run so I could go three runs on it with no problem but I charge it every two.

LiFe is a different battery type that is lower voltage, 6.6 volts so no worries about over juicing the electronics.

I have almost the same question.

Approximately how many milleamps will be drawn from a LiFe receiver pack in an 8 minute run with a 13.5 and Tekin RS, and, what is the largest capacity LiFe receiver pack that will fit a 1/12th? Not looking to switch unless I can run three heats without having to recharge.

Remember with LiFe, you don't have to charge them at 1c. You can charge one up in just a few minutes.

Do you need a special charger to charge the LiFe battery?

Then don't switch, use the RC Dynamics booster instead. You'll need at least a 350mAh pack to do three runs. That won't fit easily in a 12th car, and even then you might not get three full runs from it.

Yes. Most good chargers you get for LiPo have an LiFe setting. You must use a charger with specific settings for LiFe batteries, and nothing else. HTH :)

GOOD GRIEF! I started surfing around to look at the RC Dynamics booster and found the site. Scrolled to the bottom and found the price . . . ~33 pounds=~80 dollars US.:eek:

actually, 33. British pounds would exchange to 51. US dollars. :)

Still a bit to pay, but if its well designed, as it seems to be, and it works when you need it to, which would be always, its worth it.

Too bad the Novak booster is designed around an IC that clips out at 3.3volts. I like the 3 amp output capability, but it is useless since it drops out and causes receiver issues. Had thought of making my own when 1s first hit the track, may have to again. :nod:

thats what I was saying WOW,So I went to tqcells.com and bought my son and I one of their boosters. some of the guys at my track use this one with no problems at all

Can you tell me where you get that exchange rate from?
I have lots of pounds I want to change at that rate:sneaky:

I went to google and copied it. I must have goofed! 51 is the correct amount.
I copied the page. I dunno why it comes up like that . . . ?:confused:

http://www.xe.com Is the best one to use for calculating exchange rates.

or one which I always use

Just got an Associated 12r5.1 and a 1s lipo, now I need to get a motor\esc combo for it. What do you guys recommend? I'd like to spend less than $200 if possible. Thanks.

You can have the Tekin RS with any Redline combo for $209.00 from Tower if your a club member.
