Default Scorpion bug vs optipower backup
For people that have ran both which do you prefer? Looking to get one to use on a 600. Thanks.

Optipower, the Scorpion doesn't support HV servos.

Opti back up all the way. It charges itself, it turns itself on and it has a bright led to let you know it's been activated.

+1 for Optipower! However, one plus for Scorpion BUG is that you can power up your electronics by flipping the switch on the BUG if you want to check something quickly. Optipower has no manual "on" switch so you must connect your BEC or flight pack.

That's right, but do you really need 'high voltage' for an auto ??



Btw the scorpion bug is also much cheaper :-)

Or just go with a separate RX pack and forget about the nonsense...

It's actually quite nice you won't have to think of another package to charge ;-)
