Title: Battery advice for my Monster truck MTA4 tt.
Post by: Maheshwaran on September 03, 2013, 08:13:05 PM
Hi every one,
This is a great website first of all and thanks to the admin for helping beginners. {:)} {:)}

I just want a clarification on my batteries to be used in my cougar 3 channel remote which consumes 12 v and the receiver segment which is rated as 6 volts which powers three servos

1.turn control(metal geared)
2.throttle and brake
3.forward and reverse control

Here is my question, i want a solid run of my rc without any range problems due to power considerations. so should i buy rechargeable batteries  in market and install them or buy Ni-Cd or Lipo batteries for better performance? plz specify about the chargers and ratings and performance if possible.

thanks mentors in advance. :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

You should be using Rx packs. Check out JRH. They should have Rx packs in stock.

Your Rx is not HV(High Voltage) capable. If you use a regulator to regulate the lipo's output to 6V, you can use that.

You can also use a 6.6V LiFe pack.

10 X AA batteries rechargeable, preferable every  everyredy 2100mAh.............. which will give u 12V

and
5 X AA batteries rechargeable.. which will give u 6V
