Depends which Exzes, as I wouldn't run a 3S that Brian has shown in an "X". Mmanual says specifically not to use 3S.

[Belsten]

cool yes it is for an X

[GRIFF55]

funnily enough, me and amish were talking about this today.
Any idea what we can all use in the exzes x then please Matt?

[MattW]

Leave it with me. I did find one that would fit - but I can't remember which one it was. I haven't bothered to get LiPo for mine, as it came with a 1500mAh NiMh pack (Jap spec is supplier with NiMh it would seem!), so i'm using that till I kill it/get bored of charging it a fair lot!

Edit - I think it was this one that I was going to order.....

It's listed as an RX pack, but I can't think of any real reason why you wouldn't be able to use this one.

Is the voltage high enough ?

[DaveG28]

Sorry for going off topic guys, but as all here are using the Exzes X, a couple of times at the end of the day yesterday when I turned mine on the screen didn't come on, has anyone ever had that?

It's the coldest it's been, and it still binded each time, but no screen means I couldn't change the model or any settings, just worried I have a fault?

After a couple of attempts it did come on ok, and it's not done it before (it's a couple of mths old), just worried!?

[MattW]

Nope, mine hasn't evver done that.

Ross - yes, or I wouldn't have suggested it They nominally run from 7.2V.

I'm lost , i've got the Sanwa Exzes but not the X, its the one before. My buzzer comes on at around 9v or so, does the new one run on a lower voltage.

I use the one previous to the X with an 11.1 LiPo

the X must be designed to operate at a lower voltage and therefore an 11.1 LiPo isn't recomended for the X version

[Belsten]

There are only 6 aa batteries in the X not 8, did the previous model operate on 8 ?

[Belsten]

What is the "X" version? something specific for GB?

I have exactly the probleme of wanting a LIpo for my Exzes Plus... from the box, the batery is an 8KR-1100AAU, a 9.6V 1100mah.

If I understand well, i can use 11.1v....??????

Thanks guys

I use the Exzes Plus version (with the 2.4Ghz module) and I use an LRP 11.1 LiPo and its great.

I can't remember the exact model, but its not specifically for the Exzes Plus radio and I did have to swap the +ve and -ve leads on the connecter to match the batteries that came with the radio... so be sure to check that before you plug anything in.

[MattW]

Generally speaking, radios designed for crystals (Exzes plus) use 8xAA (1.5V Alkaline) batteries - i.e 12V nominal.

However, radios designed for 2.4G (Exzes X) use lower voltage - in Sanwa case, I guess they work with 6x1.5 - although as mine was supplied with a rechargable pack, it is 6x1.2. 7.2V in my case, hence it will run on 7.4V lipo.

The initial question was for Exzes X radio. Hope that clarifies it.

[olefiloux]

Ok. Thanks guys... I'm in he same case than Doughty, with an Exzes plus with the sanwa module.... I will take care to use a good 11.1v Lipo with a good+ve and a good -ve!!

On the exzes X, is it an external module or is the 2.4 module is "include" (closed) in the radio??

cheers!
