    Only bad part is the fact that you have to wait for the battery's to recharge. Lol

    Does the MCX2 come with the AC charger? What amp are you charging at? A couple of mine have crapped out. Good news, is I'm going to a huge RC swap meet in Nashville this weekend. A new (to me) radio is at the top of he list, with batteries for all my third dimension models next on the list.

    No dude, you need to blow that shit off, get something that plugs into the wall, with adjustable current. You should be able to find one for nothing (price wise). Give me a second, I'll post a pic.

    The charger you have charges at 0.3 amps (says it on the label). The one pictured comes with the 120SR....That is the one I have...but you should charge the 120SR and the smaller batteries at no more than 0.3 amps because if you do it more it will kill the batteries faster. Get some hyperion batteries....last longer, hold charge longer....and have more punch than the eFlite bats...

    And, I've always wondered what the output was after the AA batteries start to die, I know it takes longer and longer to charge. Just ordered three of the Hyperion batteries, for my 120. Hey Slim, are you on Heli-Freaks with same user name?
