Battery Packs, Charging, Care
This is a tutorial i wrote up to make a 9.6 volt battery pack with the standard AA battery holder. HOW TO MAKE 8 CELL AA BATTERY PACKS! I am in no way responsible for any damages or injuries to anyone who tries this guide. It is only a guide for people who may want to try it. This is an idea...
seriously, all my questions will end soon! I promise! I need a new one, and VERY little money. I see all these for $20 USD but can only do 7 cell... I want a URC sport 42s =-\ I really don't want to break the bank, and the hobbico mkii seems like a good deal if all I need is a car battery?...
Much thanks to BitHed for the word on this forum. We gonna set this place on fire. Burn *(&^((& %$#^%$ Burn. Back to the subject at hand. I am trying to gauge if there is a desire for a product. I am not selling anything at this time. If it comes to that, this will shift from this forum to a...
After try a six cell nimh AA and a two cell lipo, there is a conclusion: lipo sure. Well, now, where is the place to fit the lipo pack into the car?, not enought space in the original batt place. Second, the lipo weight much less than AA, so the load balance of the car is lost. What do you...
We are happy to announce the release of the next two United RC battery packs. The Sport53 and Xtreme53 packs!! These packs provide 9.6v of PURE POWER for your aftermarket chassis setup. Most of the aftermarket setups we have seen and heard from our customer, told us that everyone is setting...
...The halfEight runs on SIX alkalines stock...That is a whopping 9.6 volts...We know that KYOSHO will be releasing a hop-up battery pack, a rechargable 2/3A size 1100 mAh 8-cell pack which will be a VAST improvement...But will it REALLY have the balls we need? ...Team Helotes out of Texas has...
I am racing the H8 tomorrow on an indoor carpet track with jumps. I have the bearings installed, the X motor and oil filled shocks. Team Helotes sent me the 8 cell GP1100 pack today but I won't get it in time for the race. What are the best batteries I can currently use? Should I just get some...
Hi you guys, Looking for some insight here. I am currently running the Half8 with a Mamba 6800 and an 8 cell Team Helotes GP1100 pack (a GREAT pack by the way!). I really want to run with LiPo's but I would be dropping from 9.6v to 7.4v. I will gain an increase in mah from 1100 to roughly 1600...
Got mine today and I thought I would share a few thoughts with you guys. Construction of the pack is top notch! Packs are covered with black shrinkwrap and look really good in the H8 chassis. Both packs are Apogee cells and I have been using them in the past (Mini T and M18) and they are...
When I charge my URC 1100 gp8-cells using my MRC charger, It always charges over 1100 mAh and it still doesn't detect the delta peak set low as 15mV... Is it over charging my batteries, or does the charger always charge more than the rated capacity of the battery pack... I still have great...
ok i am looking to take the lipo plunge again but this time with my H8. i want to kno the best lipo pack i can get and the best charger i can get(hopefully around 100) i would like to convert my pinnacle charger to lipo but i cant find the device that does it. as for the batt i am looking to get...
...This is about what KYOSHO didnt tell us :mad: ...We know KYOSHO is using a no-name 1100 cell for their 'HOT' packs...And its most likely, if you are like me, you believed that the stock electronics were designed to handle the 9.6 volts generated...this is in fact FALSE... ...KYOSHO has...
Here you go: http://www.kyosho.co.jp/web/product...o_series-e.html The Battery Protection unit is used to protect the battery from "over-discharging" creating longer runtimes. The ESC will still handle the voltage
This is a silly question, but I am new to RC... (1) I have seen this Green/Yellow color GP batteries in electronic stores http://www.gpbatteries.com.hk/html/products/rechargeable_hydride.html (2) Are they the same ones as I see those Red color GP batteries in RC shops? (3) If not,...
I want one but they are out of stock. Know of any other places that sell these types of packs?
Hello, Anyone know where to get a 11.1v (3 cell) LiPo that will fit the Half8? The United RC pack by Apogee seems to have been discontinued. Thanks for the help. Matt
Our Final pack blitz release - The X42s and X32s for the Mini Inferno / Half-8. This is the last one for now…..and we are going out with a bang! To give all you Mini-Inferno / Half-8 Drivers out there what you have been waiting for, we are proud to release our new X42s and X32s GP Packs for...
Just thought I’d pass along my thoughts regarding the Piranha Digital Peak Charger. I purchased one from the shop here http://halfeight.com/shop/home.php?cat=260&catexp=260 a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. :D The compact size combined with a microprocessor that allows you to...
ok what is the best batt i can get for running brushless? lets try to keep the price around 25.00. less is better but i want the best i can get. i am curently running the Gmaxx 8cell pack and it seems to be lacking a little. thanks in advance. Matt
Thanks to Jon over at URC (;) thanks buddy!) I now got a pair of X42s to run in my Infernetto (but only after Xmas :(). Being a noob, I need some pointers on care and how to charge these batteries. So if anyone could be kind enough to answer these questions I would be grateful :): 1) I can get...
I've been into RC's for a awhile(7yrs) before I took a long break from the hobby(6yrs).. Well I've brushed the dust off my old equipement and now I'm back into this great hobby just because of the Kyosho H8.. Anyway.. Lipos and brushless are new to me.. Brushless seems a little fast for...
