5t 2.0 radio & reciever battery

[Suprglf]

So I finally purchased my first 5th scale! It is on back order for a couple weeks but oh well. To get everything needed to get it going I also purchased a spektrum dx5c transmitter and a venom 2s 2400 mah Lipo. Since placing my order I've read the dx5c is a bad choice due to kill switch issues. I'm also concerned the 2400 mah venom is too small. My question is how bad is the radio and battery gonna hinder the fun I was hoping to have with the Losi?

Futaba. Nuff said. Battery won't be too bad. But definitely won't be good. I can get about 5 tanks aka 5 hours ish out of my killer rc 6000mah in both vehicles

I’ve ran a DX5c with a killswitch with zero issues....you’ll be fine...
I’d get a bigger lipo though.

As long as you have a non AVC reciever

I would go Futaba and then you can use any of their thirty or so receivers with no issues instead of what 2 or 3 from Spektrum.Going with a Spektrum and a killswitch is a problem waiting to ruin the fun of all the nice new stuff you are buying.

If you have not bought yet ? buy the futaba ?? my spektrum last just over two years and then suddenly lost its range?‍

 

[Suprglf]

From what I'm hearing, the radio will be a hit or miss and the 2400 mah venom might get me two tanks between charges if I'm lucky. Well since the battery arrived today and the radio shipped today, I suppose I'll make do and prepare for those to be one of my first upgrades. This stuff is just a tease anyway since im having to wait for the 5t to be back in stock! It took me two years to justify the purchase now it's out of stock.

But you've got different giga watz herts over in your neck of the woods

 

[DougStar]

Nah bud all the same???
We have 220 wall sockets you got 110
Radio gear is all the same????

 

[Seandonato73]

Um, we have both mate. He was referring to your frequency laws (I think)

 

[DougStar]

Surely if there was a difference in tx rx I'd only be able to buy Australia compatible products ?‍ I just moved country with a 55" Samsung tv and .......no worries ?‍? so what am I missing ? can buy a new losi 5t 2.0 down the road (usa import) and it works 100%??

Totally off topic...sorry to the OP...but what exactly do you plug into your 220 outlets? Around my parts...electric driers, range and that's about it.

Is your tv fridge or toaster 220? How many amps do these normal appliances draw? I think I need to travel abroad after 'Rona of course

 

[DougStar]

Every thing is 220 toaster the lot .....what amps depends on the appliance ??

220 with a neutral? 4 prong plug?

 

[DougStar]

Here is a females plug ?? earth at to top live left neutral right live ?? 15 amps I think ?

 

[Jshaff16]

So I can plug my welder into the same outlet as your damn toaster lmao


I'm learning so much...keep talking I won't need to travel there

 

[Phill2]

Are you sure SA is 220 Doug?
NSW and QLD are 240 AC.
That's a 10 amp plug.
15 amp has a bigger earth connector.

 

[DougStar]

All my gear I brought out for SA works and it all 220 ? I'd have to double check??
Lol its smack bang in the center ?‍????

 

[Phill2]

I just found the same thing Australia wide yet all of our appliances say 240?
The nominal voltage for Australian households is 230 volts, but because voltage fluctuates all the time, electricity should be delivered within an allowable range of between 216 and 253 volts
