Airtronics M11X
#181
My M11x is on its way and after reading this thread it looks like I am going to need a voltage regulator for each of my cars. However; someone mentioned that some ESCs regulate the voltage going to the rx. I have an LRP SXX and an LRP SXX TC spec, should I be good to go. I use TrakPower 4900 25c 7.4v LiPos and TrakPower 4800 20c 7.4v LiPos.
I really appreciate your input on this one.
Thank you,
Kyle

"Not BEC equipped, do not use more than 6.0V to power receiver. Use
only 4.8-6.0V battery or a speed controller designed to lower the
voltage to the receiver."

So basically what this means is if your using an ESC that does not use more than 6.0v to power the receiver, then you are good to go.
If you plan to run a receiver pack, then make sure the voltage of the pack does not exceed 6.0v, else you could fry your receiver.
If you plan to run a receiver pack that has a voltage higher than 6.0v, then you will need a regulator.
For 1:12 scale I plan to try a 2S 350mah 7.4v LiPO with the receiver. I know it's risky, but I guess I'll find out soon if I fry the receiver or not.

I think you have the Asian\European Sanwa version M11x and receiver. In the U.S. the receiver that comes with the Airtronics M11x is referred to as 92744. I'm sure their specs are the same.

The battery pack that came with my M11x only lasts for maybe 15 minutes. I tried to charge it on a regular competition charger and I get the same results. I can say though that it may be my fault. When I initially plugged the Tx into the wall to charge the battery, I accidentally unplugged it 20min. into its first charge and noticed that it wasn't charging any further. Would that have caused my issue?? I feel like it did. Is there a way to somehow zap that packs memory? In the meantime I bought another one to charge properly.
Thanks,

Just an FYI...alot of these questions can be asked on the airtronics.net global forum.
http://globalservices.globalhobby.co...orum/index.php
I asked about me using a 7.4v LiPO to power my electronics and they recommended against doing this unless using a voltage regulator.
