hello all!

dont know if this a problem i run a hyper 7 tq sport and have a 6 cell rechargable battery pack for the reciever, ive just put it on charge and everything seems fine but as i switched it on my arm caught the top of the ariel and i got a very slight tingly shock. it seems when it is charging it transmits are very slight current through the ariel i dont know if this is normal or not so some advice would be gratefull if its not normall any ideas on what it could be the transmitter is a 2.4 ghz.

that sounds odd... I'm assuming you have a switch with the double lead so you can charge the battery without removing it from the car? make sure the switch is off when charging.. I have no idea if that would be the cause of the shock though. If the receiver and battery are working fine, then I don't see a problem. Maybe just charge the battery without it plugged into the car If your worried about it.

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about- If only a tingle...be worried if you get zapped across the room though :xd:
