Default Lipo TX pack

Has anyone bought one of these?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RC-transmitter...QQcmdZViewItem

Any clues what settings should be used on a Lipo compatable ProTrak?

Cheers Mark,

How do you know it's 3 cells?

The Pro-Trak does some voodoo magic stuff when you start to charge a Lipo to work out what the pack is, but at the end of doing that it says to me "check 12V or external fuse". When I press a button to clear that it seems to charge ok

it says 3S - this means 3 LiPo cells in series (LiPo cell = 3.7v nominal)

Mark,

The Pro-Trak will only charge 2S

Is this charger any good just for a TX pack?
