    Yippee! What the postman brought

    It's one of about 15, 2 port chargers I now have :oblong::oblong: I've got 2, X2 400 chargers and 2, X2 700 chargers of ours, so this one lands right in the middle. I still like the simplicity of my Hitec chargers, but they don't do 8S like this one does (not like I need 8S capability, or 10S...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    My GT500 DUO showed up yesterday. Works fantastic, will have to put together some kind of charge case to mount it in with my 24v 69a power supply. I'm not much one for parallel boards and usually recommend against using them but the ones FMA has for these chargers seem to be smarter than the...

    It was a weekend filled with beautiful sunshine and low 80's temps :cool:

    Revoletrix GT500

    I slapped down for the duo unit, should make a nice addition to my charger inventory. I have a Multiplex charger that is basically a direct comparison that I wanted to compare to, with the MPX unit having a slightly more in depth user interface, and only being 7s capable.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I can't, so I bought the dual 500w model. Probably the last thing I need since I have an assortment of 500w+ chargers, but the $125 price tag was difficult to resist.....

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Did a little mod to the FunCub last night. Over the weekend I noticed the landing gear was being a little too flexible which was causing the prop to drag in the soft sand on short landings. Had a spare landing gear wire and mounting block, bent and cut the wire to shape then used some industrial...

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    With all of our digital servos, yes. The HS-488HB was a specific request by Servo City, otherwise the analog line will stay at 24T. Also I should point out that with this new servo, the horns are going to be black in color for ALL of our product lines from here on out. No more lame white nylon...

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    Just as a heads up, the HS-488HB is not a d-series servo.

    Hmm that's a good deal... :sneaky: Too bad I already have about 50+ chargers :oblong::gnashing:

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    I'm saying the HS-488HB is specific to ServoCity and can only be purchased through them. The HS-485HB is available in many markets.

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    This is a special servo that will be exclusive to ServoCity. The only difference between the HS-485HB and the HS-488HB is the HS-488HB has a 25T spline and comes with an allen head screw.

    Redline is the best stuff. No smoke, pistons/cylinders get deep cleansing, and the stabilizers built into it keep the fuel fresh for a long time.

    Had a very successful event at the NEW AMA Expo West venue at the Pomona Fairplex!!! Not only did we fly foamies, but us vendors were granted special access to fly giant scale on the new outdoor flight line. It certainly brought an exciting new twist to the same old show.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Switched gears (so to speak) this weekend and fixed up my beater rig. Has an entirely new exhaust (not manifolds) and ignition components. Of course I fix 10 things and 5 more pop up like ball joints, wheel bearings, and the fan clutch won't disengage :rolleyes: The joys of owning a Jeep...

    Discussion Pilot Laser

    I agree, I think it looks more like a cross between a Slick and a Laser, than a true Laser. I think the cowl has a lot of inspirations from the Krill Laser.

    Yup. I stuck them inside of the stabs to keep the appearance clean on the outside.
