Hi Gents.
Got one for all you knowlegable guys out there.
I bought one of those cheap 40 meg Cirrus receivers for an small yacht I`m building,checked the connections and theres nowt for battery pack connection.
Designed for a Becc system I think,question is,can I input a battery pack in any way?
Remember,your talking to a complete R/C moron here,so be gentle guys %)

I am sure if you put the battery into the
servo ports it will work fine. :-))
Failing that and smoke come out I am wrong {-)

By the way...I here your going to Dortmund %)

hi Big Bry and Ging
What happened at the South Shields show? I didnt see the faces ... anyway, the Cirrus RX - normally I use a Y lead plugged into Channel 4 (one side of the Y lead battery - the other side number 4 servo).
If you have a look at the end of the Cirrus receiver, where the servo plugs fit - you will see there is notch down the left hand side which takes the Futaba plug.
Black outside pin - negative
Middle pin - red - positive
outside pin - white - for owt ya like :-)) sometimes we use it as a signal.
Hope this helps, did the border guards keep you both away from the North East %) %)

Thanks Bluebird,Appreciate the help mate :-))
I`m afraid I could`nt make it down,the missus told me I had more important things to do(more important than a show?????? silly wench >:-o)
I know Ging is saving his groats for the Dortmund show next week(If they let him in the country that is %%)
I`ll be going to most of the remaing shows this year,so we`ll hopefuly meet up at one of them mate :-))
-
A BIG thank you to both of you :-)) :-)) :-))
Success first time,one very happy chappy O0

Big Bry - hi there
Cirrus RX are a good little receiver. I have 2-3 of them...and you can get a good range out of them. Over 100 miles...make that yars or even yards... %% %% tired after the show :o
The only downside with them is that you sometimes split the case when inserting the servo plugs - they are sometimes tight (the plugs fitting into the case that is) and it parts the case - but a bit of lecky tape around the casing solves this no bother.
aye
