    Strangely chugga bug, you may be able to help. You didnt happen to sell a t-rex 500 on ebay did you? If so, it was myself that bought it (well my other half). The person i bought it off had the same username. lol If it was, could you tell me what the battery make is as they are taped together. Dont want to untape them as not sure if they are somehow connected. Great heli though. Can't wait to fly it. Had the throttle going saturday and it sounds lovely!

      I use an old computer power supply as a cheap stabilised dc power supply that puts out 20 amps should i need them. You only have to make a few mods to the psu to make it usable so you don't have to be a genius to do it but you do need basic soldering skills. If any one is interested I'll take some shots and put a short "how to" together.

          I use an old amateur radio power supply. the computer power supply sounds like a great idea! I'll try that, as it'll be more compact.
