Topic: Tekkeon MP3450 and FR2-LE

[notsofast]

I am looking to get remote power for my new FR2-LE and saw the Tekkeon MP3450, read favorable things on it and liked the size and form factor. Are there better choices for my new baby?

I can get at NewEgg for $118. Good price?

Has anyone used this combination? If so how has it worked out for you?

Newbie building a rig and full of questions, thanks for all the help,

Why not just get one of those 7.2V RC type batteries? One of these should give you enough juice.

Just want make sure I understand, I will need a charger as well, correct?

I do not have the FR2LE in hand, how will the battery connect? Do i need another adapter?

All for saving money, the wife certainly will support me on that.

a tamiya style connector comes standard on the fr2le.. just google "tamiya"..     and yes you will need a charger...

Yeah you shouldn't need any kind adapter. That's one of the very cool things about the FR2-LE. I would suggest getting a smart charger, but that's me.

Thanks for the guidance and clarification. Great to have such real world experience being shared for us newbies. I will be ordering these today.
