How to get started - Charging outside

[Muzzie]

Hi,

I'm new to RC racing so I have a daft question, With the track being outside is there power to charge the Lipo's or is it done in some other way like car battery?

[MRD]

wrong thread.

[reg]

not if he is asking if broxstowe have power outside,

unless you have a gen then its 12v car battery

[Muzzie]

Thanks for the quick reply mate, just what I needed to know... Yep I was asking about Broxtowe, I didn't want to turn up and not be able charge my Lipo's...

I Just need to get a car battery.

A leisure battery from your local Camping Store/Go Outdoors will see you right. You'll also need to pickup a 12V charger (so you can top it up when needed) - you can get these from Halfords/Argos/etc.

I went for the first time last night as a beginner too
Nice friendly place and I hope i didnt get in the way too often.

Most people seemed to be charging from their under bonnet car battery, so maybe that would be a good enough start

yeah i use the battery in my car, not ideal for a full days racing (or if it's raining!) but ok for a club night to get you going. some cars also have the 12v accessory socket in the boot.

If you get into it in a big way, some people also use a generator
