JR Voyager E Question

[outback_2006]

Got a question I bought a JR Voyager E, and it has the factory speed control, when I put my reciever in, and the 7.2 3300mah pack, does the power from the speed control, power the RX, or do I have to use a RX battrie also. I used to remimber but forgot. I had one years ago, and parted it out.

Yes the speed control powers the RX and the servos. The Voyager E will not fly on a 7.2 volt battery, it requires at least a 8.4 volts. Most people use a 9.6 volt battery, because it flew very marginal on the 7 cell battery.

I was mistaken I think on the pack, I have 2 Packs, Sanyo, Red "C Size",7 Cell's in each pack, 3600 MAH NI-MH, these should be what 8.4V I'm not shure. will these work if they are 8.4V?

It should take off but barely since it was already hard with old 2400 Nicad that was lighter than your 3600. You need to use 9,6 V batt. And it will not fly great until you put inside a Hacker C40-8L motor with 18T pinion on 8 cells or 16T pinion on 10 Cells (my advice: 10 cells. But you can also use 10 cells with Light GP2200. You will have a batt with size and weight of a 8 cells 3300). 17T should be OK with a 3S 3200-3700 Ly-Po batt.

I have been looking on the internet, and seeing differant Brushless Motor types being used on the voyager e, I dont doubt your setup, I'm just wandering why their are so many differant setups. I guess for diffrant flying styles. I just want the cheepest way to go brushless for basic flying. I'm just learning,I have had very liitle experiance hovering with a raptor 30 afew years ago, with no real flight experiance. I just want it to be able to hover, and some forward flight later as I learn. Please let me know if the setup that was lested above is the best rout for me. Or is their other alternatives. I have not yet recieved my heli, and it will be a little while before I can afford to even buy a gyro, and it would still need a NiMH charger to be even complete. other than that it is all their.thanks
