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, beserk is right...you dont need a regulator...I m using SXX as well...no problem at all. BTW where did you get the info that you have to use a regulator?

The following is noted in the Tower Hobbies product description in regards to the 92744 rx:

"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.

Questions?? Anti-Lock Brakes

Has anyone tried to use the Anti-Lock Brake feature??? I'd like to try it out on my B4, but the directions are a tad confusing.

Questions?? Frame Rate

Does anyone know have to adjust the frame rate on this thing? I need to slow it down for my 1/18th scale car.

Try set it in NORMAL mode maybe that will slow down the frame rate, if it doesn't you can use exponential or servo speed function.

Questions?? Battery Trouble

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,
Kyle

Try charge it with different charger, if its the same then try cycling it. Mine came with no batt and wall charger. I use mine with 2 cells Lipo which makes it a bit lighter.

I tried all of that, no dice. What lipo pack are you using?

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.

Thanks, but I'm actually asking about a lipo pack for the actual transmitter. But, I do use 7.4v Lipo packs in my all of my cars. I was concerned about what Airtronics said about the issue, but then someone mentioned that some ESCs regulate voltage. So I sent an email to LRP and they said not to worry. Plug the battery in and both the SXX and the SXX TC Spec will handle the rest. So sweet!! I think Airtronics takes the stance they do on this issue because there are so many applications for the M11x. Some will work and some won't. It would be insane and risky for them to try and access every single situation their product could find itself in. But that is just a theory, nothing more, nothing less.
