    Lipo with stock electrics?

    Hi anyone know if it will run with a 2 cell 7.4 lipo with no problems? I heard you may need a diod on the servo lead to drop voltage to the servo on RCU...is this correct...has anyone been running lipo with the stock set up?
    THANKS

    I cant imagine that a few extra 10th's of a volt would require any changes. Probably with 3s. Because of the large increase.

      Yea that's what i was thinking..some guy on RCU said his servo was going whacky... and another member said to use a diod in line with the servo to drop the voltage?

      Steve did you run yours on a 2cell lipo yet?
      If so how did it run?

      THANKS

        I quickly went to BL but when I ran lipo with stock everything worked fine.

                I ran mine with a 7 cell nmih pack and it really scoots (compared to the stock 6 cell pack). Not sure how it compares with 2s lipo's - I don't have any of those yet.

                There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
