1 Battery or 2??

MikeG · 03-27-2007, 01:40 PM

Hi guys,

I'm building a .60 size Extra 300 and have 6x JR digital servos, 1x JR PCM Rx, 1x JR Matchbox, 2x y-harness', 1x servo extension lead and 1x JR 4.8v 2300mah battery and just wanted to make sure that this battery would be okay to run all of this or should I use a secondary battery to power the matchbox and servos connected to it?

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I might try two 1100mah's for redundancy. But 2300 would be good.

1 battery is fine....

I use a 6v 1650mAh for planes that size....
and do whatever you can to get rid of the "Y"s
they are bad...
and what is the matchbox for??? There shouldn't be any need on a plane that size...
just run each servo on their own channel
What radio are you using?

Thanks guys for the help. I thought about using the matchbox for the two digital elevator servos to match them. Is this a bit of an over kill then? I'm using the JR7202 Tx.

Just run everything into each channel. And then mix it all!!! Ailerons inCh. 2 and 6, then Elevator inCh. 3 and 7. I say MIX IT!!!!!
