PSU Modification
 
Hey guys, it's me again! I was wondering how you would modify a computer power supply (ATX) for RC use?

I think it won't be good to use a modified PSU for a charger.
go find a regulated PSU, they're widely available from any good electronic shops from as low as 350K. I use a Bell regulated PSU for my Robitronic Pro 2000,... it has 3 DC regulated (voltage) outlets and can hold up to 30 Amps. my Bell PSU costs around 1 mio. currently. What charger do you end up getting?!

Still no charger yet. My birthday is coming up though :D

I dunno about any specific store in jkt to buy one, sorry, not much help on this... if you haven't got a charger yet,... I suggest getting the Apex u+, good & affordable multi-purpose charger, plus, you won't need any power supply for it

Actually I was thinking about getting a charger from a friend for really cheap (free basically) It's a TLP.

If used to have power supply from ATX PSU. It works great and nothing wrong with it until I connect positive side to the case and it is short circuit. Just find the one that have about 250 W or more I did use 250W one. All you need to do is put 4x10W resistor the white ceramic one between positive and negative in 2v output. and you also can put 16V 4700 micro Farad capacitor on the 12V output and 2 V output to make the output more stable.
