Lipo for Ko Propo Esprit III

carlin · #1 26-12-2009

Hi All,

Was wondering is anyone tried this yet?

What LIPO are they using & how much of mod is needed?

LRP does a 3000mah 11.1v pack that fit's straight in. All you have to do is remove the battery contacts from the current tray but it's not a permanent thing, they can be put back in should you ever want to. A few of us have been running it like that for a while now.

Carl, do you know if it's possible to do anything similar with my Helios? The steerwheel has a removable battery holder instead of a fixed unit

I have an ib lipo fir my Helios. I had to reverse the pins on the plug as it also fits jr radios

I use this lipo in my Sanwa Exzes Plus. I assume your Helios uses the same shape battery? It comes with all the necessary connectors.

Just one thing to remember guys, I believe you have to take you lipo out and charge it like that, you should not charge it through the charging port of the tx.

How come? I know some tranny's you are limited on the current you can charge through the socket (like 1A or so) but other than that what would stop you?
