Futaba 10PX
#201
I pulled the plug and got the 10px, I have to say this is a nice upgrade from the 4px (which is what I was using).
Curious, the instructions say you can charge a "LiFe" battery from the "Special Futaba Charger Chord". Yet no where can I find what the part # is to the "Special Futaba Charger Chord". Anyone know what external chord/charger cable can be used to charge a LiFe battery via the plug on the backside of the 10px? (id' like to charge w/o haveing to open my battery tray).
OR if anyone know if there is a 3rd party lipo/charge induction pad available that would work too.
thanks,

Here is the charger if you plan to use a 2s life pack. It plugs into the side of the transmitter.

Thanks Malkiy!

Yeah, i don't want to keep opening the bottom tray every race day to keep charging. My 4px's battery tray became weak after constant use (and I had to always put tape on it) -LOL. So something that I can plug like this is awesome.

I am using LiFe with the LiPo spacer and put the Balance Plug threw the USB charge hole of the spacer and battery cover. Yes, the balance plug is always hanging out but that cover plate on mine is really snug and i want it to stay that way. lol

Just ordered the R404SBSE receiver for my 1/8th e buggy and then found out it is recommended to use the standard R404SBS receiver with external antenna. So has anyone had issues with the 404SBSE in their e buggies?

I think it has to do with potential interference and range issue. Not familiar with your specific buggy, but the receiver seem to be stuff inside a receiver box, and being a 1/8th scale, the tracks it run on are usually huge. I can see why they recommend an external antenna receiver for better reception and range, Im sure the internal antenna works as well, but just as safety precaution.

Many people do not have issues with the range but keep in mind if you have range issues you should get the antenna version.

To think I actually considered a 10PX.
