Anyone usinga LiPo or some varriant in their RDS8000, I crunched a nice 450 when the TX battery died. If so what works best, can the RX handle the extra voltage, any special needs? thanks

misunderstood...lol what size battery is it? lipos don't do well because the voltage gets to low before the tx low vow voltage alrm kicks in.

Battery is a 700MA 9.6 VDC NiCad

Replaced OEM battery whth 8 off the shelf NiCad rechargable in an off the shelf holder. Been flying 3 days and battery bar still indicates full. Airtronics has a serious battery problem,,,,,,,and happy to sell you another.

I had a bad battery too. Just send it back and they'll replace it. Just because a few packs fail in the field this constitutes a "serious" battery problem? ATX isn't the only company to have packs fail.

I actually swapped the 700mah with my 600mah in my 6000 Super because I use my 6000 more right now. so lots of time on the 8000 7000mah pack. No problems with mine.
