BATTERIES

Knowledge of our experts regarding Batteries, Chargers and what you can do and not !

    • Question : Qu'est-ce qu'une batterie LiPo ?

      Answer :
      Les batteries LiPo (pour Lithium Polymère) apportent plus de performances que les batteries de type NiMh (Nickel Métal Hydride).
      Elles sont plus légères et propose des capacités bien supérieures aux NiMh à volume égal.
      Ces batteries doivent ABSOLUMENT êtres chargées dans un sac de protection spécifique avec un chargeur compatible LiPo.

    • Question : Qu'est-ce qu'une batterie NiMh ?

      Answer :
      Les Batteries NiMh (pour Nickel Métal Hydride) sont les parmi les plus faciles d'utilisation pour débuter en RC.
      Bien que moins performantes que leurs homologues LiPo, ces batteries sont beaucoup plus facile à entretenir et plus résistantes.
      Ces batteries doivent être chargées avec un chargeur compatible NiMh.

    • Question : Qu'est-ce que le Balance Mode ?

      Answer :
      Le Balance Mode (mode équilibrage) est par défaut utilisé pour charger les batteries LiPo.
      Dès lors, pour les batteries de 2S et plus, vous aurez à connecter un cordon de charge ET un cordon d'équilibrage.
      Ce mode de charge permet d'équilibrer la tension entre chacune des cellules de la batteries ce qui est INDISPENSABLE.

RADIO

      Answer :
      On désigne par TX la télécommande et par RX le récepteur. Il faut toujours allumer d'abord le TX, puis le RX.

    • Question : Qu'est-ce que le Fail Safe ?

      Answer :
      Le Fail Safe est une position de sauvegarde pré-enregistrée dans votre récepteur en cas de perte de contrôle lié à des interférences.

    • Question : How do i maintain my Mini-Z to keep it running perfectly ?

      Answer :
      Your Mini-Z is quite easy to maintain, we recommend to remove the wheels and the the axles regular and check for fibres and dirt, clean with a soft brush, make sure bearings and bushes are clean and lightly oiled, Use a soft brush around the motor and gears and using a dropper add the smallest amount of light oil on the motor shaft where the pinion is fitted and the opposite side, but don't over do it or you will clog up the motor internals. Check the suspension shafts move freely and clean as required.
