When I came into the sport in the early 90s a Tamiya 1200Mah (Mili-Amp-Hours) NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) battery with the standard tamiya box connector and a standard voltage of approximately 7.2 Volts and made up of 6 x 1.2 volt cells was just about all that was available. Then people such as Trinity and Orion began to do a little research and discovered that some of these individual els were better than the others. Various methods of testing were devised, to check each cell for things such as Voltage, Capacity, and internal resistance, and the matched Battery pack was born. Since that time the humble rechargeable battery has moved up to 3300Mah NiCad (Nickel Cadmium), NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride) and the Lithium iron. So what difference does it make to have more Mah ? Well obviously the car, airplane or Boat will run for longer for one thing, and in the case of Model racing cars it means that for a fixed time race the gearing can be raised to give higher speeds on tracks with long straights, or use a lower wind motor (higher torque, lower RPM) and improve acceleration on short straight lots of corners tracks. If you are looking for a quick, cheap, low cost way into Radio Controlled Racing, by purchasing second hand, previously owned batteries, equipment, spares parts and components, used for RC Cars, Airplanes and Boats, or want to upgrade your existing setup you have come to the right place.

Hints and Tips

Radio Gear

How to avoid Interference.

1/  The first consideration when installing your Receiver into your Electrically Powered Model is to make sure it is well away from the Negative Battery terminal, and the Motor. The Magnetic field can cause stuttering type interference at times of high current draw (i.e., Fast Acceleration)

2/  Make sure the Ariel tube is long enough for the Ariel wire. The tip of this wire is highly sensitive and should be as high, and as far away from the Motor as possible (yup, its that magnetic field prob again)

3/  If all else fails, a simple tip that often works for all RC Model enthusiasts is to wrap the receiver in Aluminium Foil, to shield against any magnetic and external radio interference.

4/  As a last resort, to protect against servo twitch, try ferrite beads. (available at Radio Shack or Maplins) These are threaded over the red, white (or yellow) and black wires of each servo.

Hints and Tips

Battery Charging

Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium)

1/  All Ni-Cad Batteries have to be Discharged soon after use. This is to avoid the dreaded "Memory" effect that on subsequent re-charges can cause a momentary drop in performance during a race. A simple discharger can be made from a car 12v bulb.

2/  Try to time your charge to complete just before a race. This will ensure maximum punch and duration. If a Ni-Cad is left to cool after a charge this advantage dissipates.

3/  The higher the charge current the more Punch the Ni-Cad battery will have (up to around 8 amps), however, the downside to this is a reduction in duration and effective battery life.

4/  Ni-Cad Batteries should be left to cool for about an hour after use before recharging. This will increase the effective life of the battery.

Ni-Mh (Nickel Metal Hydride)

1/  Never charge Ni-Mh batteries at a current higher than 4.5 amps. Although these batteries can give a higher voltage than Ni-Cad Batteries, they are much more sensitive and easy to damage if charged too quickly.

2/  Charging methods Ni-Mh batteries can also be detrimental. The best I found was the "Slope" method. Avoid "Pulse" charging as this tends to effect crystal formation detrimentally and (it seems to kill them off) thus reduces duration over time.

3/  If using a temperature cut off charger on Ni-Mh batteries set to no more than 40 Degrees Centigrade. Any higher than this can damage the crystals.

4/  It is not necessary to discharge Ni-Mh Batteries. Unlike Ni-Cad batteries they do not develop a memory. Also, if they are totally discharged they sometimes will not charge straight after and need to be coaxed with a 10 minute trickle charge.

5/  Ni Mh Batteries can be recharged shortly after use without any discernable detrimental effects.
