I got my Sabertooth 2x5 in today, to run the model tank I converted to RC years ago. Its listed minum input voltage is 6 volts. They ain't kiddin'. four AAs quickly drop to 5.8 volts. At that voltage, it stops working. Still got a pack I made from six sub AA NiMHs, years ago. Might be time to look into getting a Li-Po receiver pack. Tank is so much easier to drive now. B) |

Running it out of gas already? You need more oomph in the juice. Or at least longer lasting oomph. |

Now you just need to tweak it to fire Nerf darts? |

It's 1/35th scale. You'd be lucky to make it fire airsoft pellets. Besides, the only radio I've got for it, is my old two channel AM system. All I can run on it is steering and throttle. |

Speaking of voltage. the Sabertooth has a five volt output on it, to power the radio. Now, that's probably fine, with the modern 2.4ghz radios, and lower power needs. But, I'm running this sucker on a 21 year old AM radio. I couldn't get it across the room, without reception problems. I redid some of the wiring to feed the receiver directly off the battery (7.4 volts) and it's much happier now. B) |
