remote start

[Macguyver]

i got bored the other night so i decided to make use of my fourth channel on my revo ...i had an old ez-start box i got in a lot on ebay ....so i zip tied a micro servo to it and zip tied the control box on the lid of my rx box ..then i made a battery support that goes on top of the front shocks .

maybe now ill be able to keep the front wheels on the ground ....but the original ez-start battery is a bit big .....

any suggestions on a smaller battery that would work well for that ??....i was thinking of a lipo maybe ??

You can also remove the outer case of the EZ-Start box and mount just the button and circuit board, but yes a 2s lipo would probably work fine. Just mount a LVC, you may be able to get away without it being as it will only be used to start the truck, but I would rather be safe than sorry.

whats a good brand of lipo battery that is not to expensive ??? i already have a charger ...so at least i dont have to spend $$ on that ...and would the discharge rate play a big factor ??

I don't have personal experience with any but I've read good things about gensacearespammers lipos.
