| I've been doing a lot of research in the last week about using these babies as RX power, and I've come to the conclusion that this is the best thing since sliced bread!!
I've decided to simplify my wiring and get rid of my arizona reg and lipo set up for a regulatorless a123 set-up. From my reading on flyinggiants, testing has shown that these things hold 2.95V @ 30A discharge through the entire pack. Under more sedate discharge amps, they can hold the 3.3 no problem, thus why use a regulator?
Under full charge, these can go to 7.2 V (talking 2 cell pack), and quickly drop to under 7 volts and settle at 6.6 nominal and stay there. The same voltages are found in 5cell nimh packs. All my servo's are rated for 6V so I see no reason why not. I've finished making my first 2cell pack, and I'm pretty excited to go ahead with the install and re-wiring into my 90, but I don't see much talk about them here as RX power. Am I missing something?
I plan to run the batt into a fromeco badger (high amp switch), then pigtail into 3 leads (AR7000 RX) that will go into the batt port, then into "y's" in the AUX2 and gain ports (running a multigov in the AUX2). I think this will give me more than enough amps available. Am I not seeing the problems or something? Tell me if I'm dreaming . Simple, high current, less failure points, safer technology....
NO SOUP FOR YOU!! |
