Triton Help

[Helodad]

I just got a Triton. How can I use it at home and where do I get the adaptors for my batteries? Thanks

[claysmith]

you can go to radio shack and get a power supply to use it at the house. most all hobby shops will have the charge wires for it

What I did is cut the wires... and make a nother connection on it using deans plugs. I found this place has good powersupplys http://www.buyreliant.com/psupplies/pyramid_power_supplies.htm
as far as your leads are concerned... you can get Banana plug leads for your TX or RX at the hobby shop or online....look for "charging leads." For other things such as battery packs for foamies or what not... you can go to radio shack an get some banana plugs and sauder them onto wires for leads...Ill include a few pics.
Here is mine... I have the two leads that I can swap for pwr supply or battery connection... and the other two are my JST lead for foamies and my Tamiya lead for my starter batteries. The yellow cord is just some extra lamp cord I had.

Brtmn, thats just what I wanted. Can you tell me exactly what you used, I mean when I go to the store I know what parts to ask for? what kind of connectors on your claps ok I see now deans plug never heard of them can I get most of this at RS? What power supply are you using from that site? the 10amp cost or higher?

[ThBrtmn]

Im actually using the 5amp (7amp peak) Peaple say get the 10amp but its up to you. Bananna plugs are tje red amd black ones you can get at radio shack:

I suggest http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=274-730 on this page

Check with your LHS for some deans connectors... I dont know where you would find them other than there. They should have some wire to make up leads or you can get some at Radio shack... I would suggest braded copper wire inner instead of solid...its more pliable. You can also use just standard lampcord or something.
here is what the deans look like:

A good example of some wire to get..

As far as charging leads are concerned.... You can make up a lead for whatever type you want to charge. My glow igniter came with a wall charger that you plug into the wall.... I cut the wire off of that and put some banana plugs on the end and I now have a charge lead for my glow lighter for my triton.
Jr or Futaba as your radio equipment... here are your choices.

You should be able to find these packages at your LHS pre made.

Thanks man :noteworthy :noteworthy :noteworthy :noteworthy I know just what to get now.

What if I connect my 12v AC- 12v DC wall phone charger would it work?
It says on the plug input 12VAC 60HZ 7w output 12VDC 300ma
:dontknow

[claysmith]

300ma isn't enough current, you need at least a couple amps
