Title: SKYRC charger with bluetooth
Post by: T33cno on June 30, 2017, 02:51:15 pm

I just bought myself this as a treat  :-)
NOTE* this is a D100 VERSION2
Tamiya charge connectors not included but only £2.49 each delivered eBay BUT does come with two XT60 charge leads

Full control from your phone and all the usual. Very nicely built and runs quietly.
Here I'm running two 7.2volt NiMH through a series of discharge/charge cycles and charging my phone at the same time.  8)

I just have one issue to report and I conveyed this to the seller too.


Initially out of the box it would not start up on 230volts. Out of desperation I connected the 12 volt input and this fired it up immediately. I then reverted to 230 and it has now worked OK. I hope there are no future issues as this scenario is not normal.

Forgot to mention that it talks to you too! voice guidance makes it almost muppet proof  {-)
