Oh How Original Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Agree with AJ, I wasn't overly impressed with my 1283 either. Especially when the Xpert is a bit cheaper, factory waterproof so no voiding your warranty and it's a better servo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've used a Floureon 4S pack for awhile now, started off a pita as was constantly coming off use with, what I consider, wildly mismatched cells. However after 10-12 cycles it's now prob one of my most consistent packs and always comes off within 0.01-0.03v of each other. Run times are comparable to my other packs of similar capacities, it doesn't swell and it's pretty punchy relative to the C rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 They are crap.... My Wraith killed one in weeks, it was replaced by the 7950 and that's a proper beast... Thinking I may up the budget and just bite the bullet on the 7950 but what's the best way to get the most out of it as running of the rx is 6v If I go the castle BEC route I'll need to get it programmed will I not ?

.AJ. Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Or if there is enough room in the RX box you could just run a lipo RX pack, I've got a couple small Gens Ace 1300 and 1550mah packs, if they fit I ain't going to bother with a BEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hmm think I'll cheap out and go with the 7954 and maybe look at getting a BEC at some point in the future to give me 7.4v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Contacted the local guy who is selling that one on ebay - would go for it but he's away till the weekend and I'm away from the weekend for two weeks :/ For anyone else interested it's a conversion from the Nitro, with parts from modelforce (the ebay breaker). I think I turned down the nitro this came from some weeks back - it had indeed never been ran bar sat with the engine breaking in if so.
