fillerkiller 1 Posted November 19, 2016 I picked up a very badly looked after hornet, Is it possible to run the original recover from the main battery rather than the separate battery pack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz-trash-cowboy 63 Posted November 19, 2016 Reciever?? short answer mostly yes. have a look on the receiver. does it say BEC?? If so it has battery elimination circuit. ( happy to accept 7.2 volts ) some msc had a diode and reciever plug exactly for that purpose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's so old, it is a Santa radio gear with 1 2 B on the receiver, but I just tried it and it works, how long for I don't know 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wooders28 4703 Posted November 19, 2016 I used to solder diodes to the msc (to drop the voltage down to 6v) before BEC, so even none bec can be run without extra receiver batteries. The only issue I found was the servos stopped working before the motor did, so you'd have to chase the car,only walking pace though, so didn't take much chasing.
