Hey guys

Could anybody please give me the rule of thumb for Transmitter lipo packs? I have a RDS 8000 and wondering if my 8000mah, 30 c, 3s lipo will work or if it will fry my tx(due to the discharge rate)? any reliable packs out there?

A high discharge rate will not fry your radio. You have to maintain the right voltage that's it.

Go for the 9xr pack from turnigy......or the rhino 2650mah tx pack.....fits perfectly.
Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.

@teamnamibia
8000mah?
Will it fit inside the battery compartment?
It won't fry your Tx.
Only problem(?) is that if you use it for 2 hours every Sunday,
it will require recharging only after about 6 months!
Your Tx current drain is under 200ma. So even a 2650mah will give you 10 hours of flying before recharge
