Getting back into nitro boats and wondering what the latest and great receivers packs people are using?

Thanks
 
Brian are you still located in MN? If so have you been to the pond or are you coming back to racing? I have met so many people at the pond it is hard to remember who I have met!

Not sure how much racing I will do this season, I am an all or nothing kind of guy and getting back into racing requires lots of pit supplies and equipment so. I want to get back to running with my grand sons at the pond in eagan unless I can find a suitable one elsewhere. Tunnels hulls at first a stock 3.5, then PSpec and mod 3.5, I am resurrecting my own 7.5 engines that I have made in the past so eventually I will run in that class. It will take some time to get fully involved.

I am sure we have not met.

You might give these a look:

I've used them for a bit now and they hold up well. Have a built-in on/off switch also, though I'm not sure how useful that is for you Nitro guys. For my FE stuff, I like not having to include an additional on/off switch, so it is a nice feature.

Personally, I would only run the 200 mah packs if you need the small physical size. I run one in my Zippkit .12 rigger and while it lasts a few heats, it will get down there if you are dead in the water and it takes a while for your boat to get picked up. Amazing how much current is slowly drawn with the boat just sitting.
 
Be careful with 6.6 volt lfe packs. The futaba fhss reciever that I use will only accept 4-6 volts and the status led will lit up red and green win a plug my fully charged 1000mah 6.6v life batt into it. The manual states not to exceed 6volt or could damage reciever. I guess I need a regulator...lol With the red and green led on it will not repond. I can plug a 4cell AA battery pack in and no problems?

The definitely need to be charged during the day. These have a separate charging lead, so that's pretty easily accomplished, and LiFE charges very quickly. For small stuff, I think the weight savings is worth the hassle...

My Spektrum RX's will handle the voltage, but the standard LV servos won't, so I added a VR in line... I used this one: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/vr5203-dual-output-regulator-SPMVR5203
