Im getting a new MT4 radio system, and was needing to know if i should get a 6v hump pack or the flat pack? Also If i run a pack like that for receiver can i still use just reg AA in the radio?

I was also just looking at the futaba radios 3PL and the 3PM X. Would either of these be better than the airtronics?

Hi you can use different types of batteries for the mt4 TX and RX! I purchased a 4 pack of regular AA nhmi Batteries at a local store then I purchased a 4 cell charger from Hobby People to charge it. I use a 5 cell NHMI Hump pack for my cars rx. Just beware if you go the lipo way you shouldnt use any bigger than 2S lippo and also you will have to have high voltage servos (7.4v) and these servos are very expensive to me.more than 100 bucks a piece. This is a great radio I have had mine 6 months and it is just solid!! I hope this helps out Michael

Thanks! That was just the route i was thinking of going just wasnt sure about the receiver pack. Also I really like everything about the MT4 just wasnt sure if it was worth the extra cost over the futabas I listed in 2nd post. Receivers are a bit on the high side for the MT4 If had to replace.

the 3pl isn't in the same "radio class" as the mt4. the 3pmx is a weird radio. cheap to buy, but them the price catches up to you with the receivers (fasst ones)

the mt4 and the 4pls are in the same league. there are lots of threads comparing those two already though.

Hobby People makes a lipo for the MT4 that you can get off that popular auction site for $26 shipped.

You can use nitro flat pack receiver pack - either the nimh or the 2S lipo receiver packs.

Why not just use the 6.6volt li-fe packs?
This option is a much safer chemistry and you don't need a voltage regulator to step down the voltage.

Yeah I think i just screwed up I ordered a 2s lipo receiver pack and im not sure that the servos thats coming with a truggy i ordered from a guy is high voltage! Oh well i will just go to my LHS and pick up a 6.0v NIMH pack, I should have just ordered one of those in first place. So now i have a lipo that i may not ever use.

I use a 13 dollar nano-tech 2000 mah lipo in my MT-4...

huh?

Oh.... you guys are talking about RX packs...

92524 and RX-37W both work with Mt-4 and both are about 50 bucks. I use 92524s in a couple of my cars without issue.

Which lipos do u guys recommend getting for a mt4? Are the turnigy 1.5 or 2.0 any good do have to change out the plug?

I believe this is the one that fits best, although would like to know if you need to swap out the plugs?

I am using this LiFe battery also , very gd no problem at all. Even my Futaba 4PLS and 4PV using this battery .
