Woah! Excellent price - the RR is a beautiful bit of kit. The pics don’t do it justice!

The Advanced series design concept is based on being a more convenient, user friendly and safety oriented series of batteries. We produce the high quality LiHv cells,hard-case,internal circuitry, 8 gauge wire, power indicator lights and other smart features.The first concept of 4.35V high-voltage allows higher energy density and longer battery life. Each cell with 3.8V nominal voltage. The following is taking 10000mah 4s for example. A press of the button will show the remaining charge level of the pack from 4 LED power indicator buttons. Each represents 25% of the pack total charge level. (FLASH ALTERNATIVELY) When there is a large cell voltage difference ( ＞ 300mV) the LED button will flash red and blue.If the pack voltage is too low the LED button will have a solid red light . If after 5 days the internal circuit detects a charge level above 3.95v per cell the Advanced battery circuit will begin the self storage mode and stop when storage level 3.92V is achieved. While detect an overcharge condition it will cut the connection to the balance lead causing the charger to stop. LED button light will flash red and warn that there is an overcharge condition until the battery voltage drops back down to normal. View full news article

Ah gotcha, didn’t know that. 👍🏼 Your rig looks bad-ass by the way!

Hi @tanveer maybe because the DX2E has two channels and you need three on the TX no?

That looks fantastic, but it’s a little punchy at c.£700+? At that price, you’re not too far off the Super Rock Rey!

Wondering if this is a precursor to a new ‘standard’ wide X-Maxx?

Welcome @Trunkle!

@KrisArmAwesome! Great minds brother!! 👍🏾

That looks sweet @Ant.p!

Superb looking shell. Wondering if you can get Nardo Grey spray paint and the job’s a good’n.

Also a good time to check eBay and FB marketplace. People freeing up funds for Christmas and I’ve also seen lots of ‘bought during lockdown/ getting out of the hobby’ type ads. A modded 6S Maxx went for £343 on eBay in the last week which is ridiculously low!

The best deals appear to be in the US or on the continent! 😠

Woah. Totally agree with you @StormbringerCan’t understand the way some people think sometimes!

In short yes, anything above 250g requires an operator ID and flyer ID now. With a quick CAA test (20 odd questions) you can get a flyer ID and operator ID to fly for anything above 250g. Both the ‘where’ and ‘how’ still come into consideration. They classify pretty much anything that flies under the ‘unmanned drone and model aircraft’ code. There are additional restrictions for anything with a camera, namely drones. With a A2 certificate (£50 or so) and a more detailed theory-based test, certain restrictions are lifted (like flying near people that are ‘involved’). I think you can go up to 25KG (take-off weight) with this certification. Personally, I think the new rules and testing regulations have stopped a lot of silly people getting into the air, so simply on that basis it’s a relatively good thing. Although for most of us that were sensible before, it’s added additional costs and ‘exams’ headache!
