What type of receiver and battery for Power Pack C

[edster7]

Hey all,
I am new to the hobby as of August 2015 and a HUGE fan of all the Flite Test videos. I am so glad a came across these guys. Anyway, I enjoyed FliteTest so much and their own builds, that i decided to buy a speed build Explorer with Power Pack C. From what I am reading, it seems I still need to purchase a receiver ( I have my own tx, Spektrum Dx6) and a battery seperately. #1 is this true, and secondly, what do you all recommend? I appreciate ALL input.

Thanks!!!!!

BTW, sorry if this type of thread already exists!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, to complete the package you have to get two combos: Tx/Rx and battery/charger. For a receiver, I would suggest the Spektrum AR400 or one of the Spektrum-compatible OrangeRX ones from Hobbyking. You can buy a Lumenier 2250mAh 3S 35C Lipo Battery from the Flite Test store as well as a suitable charger.

Good luck and welcome to the forums!

You can expect about 12-18 minutes.
