Proboat Mis Geico PreOrder review

[nosreme722]

Alright so Ive posted a few times on this forum looking for help and ive been doing research and since ive got a few days for before I get the money I thought id do a little review. Rather be safe than sorry.

1. Proboat Miss Geico and Proboat esc programming card from Horizon

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdId=PRB4100

2. 5.5mm bullet connectors and banana to 5.5mm charger adapter from kintec racing.

3. Two Turnigy 2s 5200mah 30c bats with 5.5mm bullet connectors

4. And lastly the charger.. this was my option from HK
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dproduct=14857

But I also received offers from a few guys here.

Also Ill be looking in the swap/sell area here for next couple of days. I dont even have a power supply so.. idk. Im going to start out without a prop and soon ill order probably an octura x642 and the kintec offset rudder in the near future, and work my way into gaining some supply to add to my boat box.

I have a medium size red 'Bud-like' Hydro that im going to turn into a project this summer that ill definitely get some help from you guys. Thanks for all the help!!

2) What is the banana 5.5mm adaptor? Show a link, I know kintec doesn't link the actual product just a page but we can scroll down and check the name.

I would get a charger that can put out some more watts. I have some 50 watt chargers and there ok but on the bigger packs they take a while.

I been using this power supply http://www.commonsenserc.com/product...4hbb755gv2c157 and charger http://www.commonsenserc.com/product...4hbb755gv2c157. You can get the charger cheaper at tower:

HK is a good place to order if your NOT in a rush. You might get your items in 2 weeks or 2 months. You will get them though lol. Just be patient.

Did you mean NOT a good place if your in a rush?

Man I really wasnt planning on spending that much for a charger but I guess its only one time..

The Plug i was referring to is "5.5mm Charger Lead" right below the 5.5mm bullet connectors

Yea if your NOT in a rush, sorry for confusion.

Chargers come with charge leads, sometimes they have no plugs on the the end and are bare wires for where your batts hook up, normally it's easier that way. If your already ordering a bag of 5.5mm just solder them onto the charge leads your self. Would save a few $$$$ I have one of the octopus charge things http://www.amazon.com/Octopus-RC-Cha.../dp/B001343I1K i just solder whatever ones I want to it.

[nosreme722]

ugghh.. Can someone please give me a link for like $50 for two 2s 5000mah 30c bats?

Actually the ones from HK say USA Warehouse.. idk if that makes a difference.

I was planning on spending like 50 on a charger total. Idk if I can come up with 150 for a charger and power supply, thats ganna put me over 600 without a prop, balancer, or kintec offset rudder, etc.

Ive got time, ill see what I can come up with.

[ron1950]

if its from the usa wearhouse it will only take a week or two...make use it is usa though

[nosreme722]

Can someone find me a charger and power supply for $70? Is there any alternative for a power supply, something a hobbyist might have at home? Idk, just thinking out loud.

These chargers have a good following http://www.hobbypartz.com/skychb6chdup.html it doesn't say the wattage, but being it's dual power ac plug in I would assume 50 watts would be its rating. It will do the job, little slower on bigger packs but it will get you started until your able to grab a more powerful charger down the road. I have 2 50 watt chargers I use, but on my bigger packs I have a charger with 200 watts and a 350 watt power supply.

http://www.hobbypartz.com/83p-5000mah-2s1p-74-40c.html these will get you started just fine.
