I was wondering if it is possible to put a LiPo into a Spektrum DX3S?
1. If it is possible how do you do it?
2. What do you need in order to do it?
3. Does anyone out there offer a service to do this type of mod? Cost?
It would be awesome if this could be done.

Thanks,
Philip Webb

Discussed in here - see reply #17 about some one doing it as a service -

its possible. i used 3s lipo on my jr xg7. my regulator cn handle max input 26v but the jr keeps on telling u cant use lipo on your tx"wait for us to manufacture and buy our products"

So if ya gonna use a recharge AA battery what’s the lowest voltage warning set on the DX3 to be safe.

If you use decent nimh LSD (Low Self Discharge) cells such as Sanyo Eneloops set it at 4.8v

I charge mine back up after 8 hours use and never get close to the alarm

Cheers

Mine is set at 4.0v, seems fine....

Sanyo Eneloops
I just got these batteries in.
thanks for the info.

Last post in that thread dated Nov. said he doesn't do any of the mods anymore.
