From: t...@me.com To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [TANKS] spektrum radios Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 19:33:12 -0400 Sounds like you need a lot of questions answered about rc gear. The receiver will work off of usually the speed controller in your vehicle. If you need to, you can just use regular batteries since the rx (receiver) doesn't draw a lot of power. Most servos will work directly by plugging them into the rx, digitals included. A servo programmer is usually used for precise control to set the end points and throw and speed of throw for each servo, like for rc jets or some high detail scale models, usually not tanks. Now a question for you, do you NEED digital servos? Usually they are needed for airplanes or helis that need constant adjustment and position sensing. Might find an analog servo of similar specs for 1/3 if the cost. I'm no expert but that's what I've pick up for running rc for a while.

Re: [TANKS] spektrum radios
When I bought my DX5e from Robot Marketplace I got the optional BR6000 receiver because the AR versions are for airplanes (they hold the last setting if signal is lost). The BR series shuts down all inputs if signal is lost (good for tanks so they stop moving and firing). The DX5e doesn't come with any servos or battery pack for the receiver. I went to Radio Shack and picked up a simple AA 4 battery holder that had an on/off switch on the case. I think it was like $2.00. You don't need to use Spektrum servos. Any servo will work. I used a Hobbico CS-80 1/4 scale servo for my elevate, but it draws more power than the receiver can provide. It comes with a "Y" cable that allows you to add a direct battery feed to it. I use normal non-recharable AA batteries. You could use rechargable ones if you like from any hardware store or Walmart that are AA. Sometimes you can find a value pack that comes with a charger.

Re: [TANKS] spektrum radios
the servos should work fine. I have not heard of any programming involved. Spektrum radios do need to be bound to the rx however.
