Lipo R/X Batteries
I have some 800mah packs from my helis that I would like to use as rx packs in the boat.
My question is how long would I expect to get out of an 800mah 3s pack as the rx batteries. Using a spectrum receiver and 2 HD Servos (steering/throttle) Thanks

Re: Lipo R/X Batteries
You need to use a UBEC battery eliminator device, you cannot connect 12 volts direct to your receiver. Anyway, it is still 800 mah same as a NiCad pack, maybe a touch longer.

Re: Lipo R/X Batteries
I have a UBEC in there, I would never just hook up a 3s lipo to the receiver
 .So I would have a decent amount of time from an 800mah pack enough for at least 1/2hr or more of run time?
