Batteries just came in so it is time to get started.


I will try to show everyone how to properly set up Fromeco Lithium Ion batteries.

Setup: 1 2400Mah for the Ignition
1 4800 Mah for the Rx.
2 Regulators
Badger switches (Old style switch)

First off one of the most common questions.

Q: Where do I put my Regulator???

A: The Regulator goes AFTER the switch, Why? this will allow you to charge through your switch and also give you the ability to check your voltage from the switch.

Will show how I am installing them either tomorrow or later in the week.
