I'm new to EC12's this year (great [:D] decision thanks Scott & Dave)and at my second Regatta "White Rose" in York PA in the 7th race of the day #14 carried on happily down the lake, out of control [:I] . I found that I had not charged the new 2700 Ni-MH battery long enough. When first setting up my radio I read the article in Model Yachting Issue #146 "About Radios and R/C Systems" and found that the 600 mAh battery pack that comes with the radio would not last a full days Regatta so prior to the Regatta I purchased a new 2700 TX pack and two 2700 Rx battery packs. I charged them 24 hours using the charger that comes with the Radio and thought that would be long enough. hahahaha. Charging at 50mA's I'm now told would take somewhere in the region of 72 hours. I want to purchase a new fast charger so [?] 1) what would you recommend & 2) Does anyone have detailed (simple) instructions on modifying the Spekrum radio to use a different faster charger.
