LiPo Batteries are pound for pound the longest lasting best performing batteries you can use for RC applications. LiPo batteries can often deliver twice the capacity at nearly half the weight of conventional cells. Lithium Polymer Batteries were introduced several years ago to the RC industry but many hobbyists still do not understand or use [...]
Spektrum Surface Failsafe Tips
Spektrum surface radios include a signal loss failsafe, but they do not have a voltage failsafe. To allow this feature, RC Racers can use an aftermarket failsafe such as the Dynamite Race Guard Micro Fail Safe, Dynamite RC Part DYN2553, to build in a voltage failsafe. The Race Guard will kick in [...]
