My new DIY radio battery pack

I finally ended ordering some Sanyo eneloop cells to make my own new rechargeable pack for my DX7. I used an old AA battery tray that I had laying around from some old project and it happens to fit just exactly in the DX7 so here is my brand new pack:

I think it looks just awesome!

Lipo alright

After my last flight with one of my lipos for my T-Rex 450, I reported that it was really hot and a little puffed after landing. It also did not last as long as normally. So I was a little worried, but since it's a AirThunder which is supposed to be resistant to puffing and over dischargind, I still had a little hope.


I recharged it and after testing it again, it looks like it's back to normal again. It flew normally today and it wasn't too hot of puffed when landing. So I guess so far so good, I will continue to monitor this pack closely, but I think it' still good after all. I have about 40 cycles on both of my pack now, but with good care, it's supposed to be able to handle over 100.

My new toolbox

Now that I have a bigger heli, I needed a bigger toolbox to carry all the tools and parts.


So I bought a myself a brand new plastic toolbox and I fixed some padding inside to be able to carry my DX7 safely.

Here are a few pics of my new helicopter toolbox:
