What is the best budget lipo charger

dry cradle
#

hota d6 pro

burnt willow
#

Budget??

dry cradle
#

about $120

burnt willow
#

Yeah ik but thats alot of money

#

When the drone i wanna buy is 100

dry cradle
#

its alot of charger

#

what drone is it?

#

or in other words, what batteries are you needing to charge?

burnt willow
#

Baby ape pro v2 elrs

#

3s

dry cradle
#

mhm yea

#

You could get something like the isdt 608ac.. it's about half the price of the hota, but it's also a lot less than half the charger

burnt willow
#

But i think the batteries from Darwin fpv are pretty ass it has 380 or 500mah

#

Okay il take a look

humble dawn
#

@rocky cape stay the fuck away from Darwin unless u wanna replace everything in a month

#

Get a crux35 instead

#

Only a little more and way better

humble dawn
#

I’m not joking

#

Oh plus the crux35 is 4s so it’s faster and just better

burnt willow
#

This one

burnt willow
#

So @humble dawn wich charger do u recommend like is there a good one under 100

#

Bc the isdt 608ac is not bad right i saw the vid of some people and they had a really good review about it like Joshua bardwell

burnt willow
#

Wich batterys do i need to use on the crux35 bc some sites say 3s and some others 4s

rain widget
burnt willow
#

Isnt that really crappy

rain widget
#

It work
I happy

burnt willow
#

But on the pictures there is not balance thingy input

burnt willow
#

Okay

#

Ty

hollow solstice
#

Would not recommend

#

At least get something like the ToolkitRC M7 with one of their PSUs

burnt willow
#

I think in gonna go for the isdt 608ac

hollow solstice
#

ISDT stuff tends to fail in a way that it detonates

burnt willow
#

Ohh that does not sound good

hollow solstice
#

ToolkitRC at least fails safely

burnt willow
#

Okay

#

Yeah i saw the m6

#

V2

hollow solstice
#

Don't get that, at least get the M7

burnt willow
#

Okay

rain widget
hollow solstice
#

Only charging through the balance port is a bad idea

hollow solstice
#

Because it's not designed to be used for the full charge cycle

#

Can you even set the charge current on that thing?

rain widget
# hollow solstice Because it's not designed to be used for the full charge cycle

Chatgpt respobse was : Yes, the Hotrc A400 Battery Balance Charger is designed to be used for the full charge cycle of 3S or 4S LiPo batteries. It has a maximum charge power of 40W and a charge stop voltage of 4.2V ±0.02V. Additionally, it is equipped with 11.4V/14.8V double charging mount and the charging current of 3S or 4S can reach 3000 milliampere.
It is important to note that the full charge cycle of a LiPo battery should be carefully monitored to prevent overcharging or overheating. It is recommended to refer to the product manual or documentation for precise information on using the Hotrc A400 Battery Balance Charger for the full charge cycle of your specific battery model.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

humble dawn
#

The one that Brutus said is good but I think the toolkit rc ones are better

humble dawn
# rain widget Why?

No storage charge as you need the xt discharge connector to discharge to storage mode

#

Or just fly them down to storage mode but that’s a pain

burnt willow
#

I really dont want to spend more then 300 or maybe 350
But rn what im looking at is 420 or something its 106 for the tx12 mrk2 elr 138 for ev800d
145 for the crux35 elrs
And then 47 for the toolkitrc m7 and 13 for the parallel charging board and that does not even include the price of the batteries

humble dawn
#

Don’t get a parallel charging board unless u know what ur doing

#

And also not unless u have a good charger like hota d6 pro

#

If you wanna stay cheap there’s another setup

burnt willow
#

I watched like a 30min explanation on how to use everything

humble dawn
#

Quadcopter:
Mobula6 (ELRS version, better for indoor flying)
Mobeetle6 (ELRS version, better for indoor flying)
Mobula7 1s (ELRS version, better for light outdoor and indoor flying)
Crux3 1s (ELRS version, only for outdoor flying)


Controller:
Radiomaster RC TX12 MkII (ELRS Mode 2 version, requires 18650 batteries)
Radiomaster RC Boxer (ELRS Mode 2 version, requires 18650 batteries)
Radiomaster RC Zorro (ELRS Mode 2 version, requires 18350 batteries)


Goggles:
Eachine EV800D


Battery Charger:
Vifly Whoopstor v2 or v3


Batteries (Choose based on quadcopter):
For Mobula6: Tattu/Dogcom 1S 300mAh batteries
For Mobula7 and Crux3: Tattu/Dogcom 1S 450mAh batteries


Estimated Total: $350 (before tax and shipping, if in the USA)

burnt willow
#

With charging

humble dawn
#

Also get the 3 speedy pizza 4s

burnt willow
#

What battery connector is on the cruxe

#

3

#

Is there no like good RTF kit for 340 or something which isnt trash wich has a good drone for outside flying a good radio and good goggles

#

But if i do get the crux35 what would be the best 4s batteries for it that are not 1000milion dollars

glass lion
#

3s charger best cheap

#

Ez no fuss

hollow solstice
#

@burnt willow for 350 you cannot get a 3.5" setup.

#

That's not a reasonable expectation, and anywhere you will cut price it will greatly affect the quality

rain widget
#

Naa you all just coping that y'all spend too much money 🤣

humble dawn
humble dawn
#

If u want a cheap one that’s solid but can only do up to 4s so if u want to later down go more expensive you could go with the (can’t recall if it’s idst or Toolkitrc) pd60 as it’s from a good brand but prob can’t power a parallel board

#

And it’s over usb c so u don’t need a power supply

humble dawn
#

Cnhl speedypizza

#

Cheap for lipos and good quality

humble dawn
#

And get an xt60 to xt30 adapter but those are like $2 on rdq

rain widget
#

Rdq?

humble dawn
#

The cheapest one I would run a parallel board on is the one that vitroid reco

humble dawn
rain widget
humble dawn
#

Yep

#

Racedayquads

#

Best US fpv site

#

Only 3 good ones imo

#

Rdq, pyro and getfpv

#

In that order from best to worst

#

I reco never ordering off Amazon bc most of the time it’s more expensive by a decent bit

burnt willow
#

So should i be looking at something more like this this is from the same store as the speedypizza batteries or should i get the speedypizza 4s 1200mah for the crux35 bc the other 4s 850 mag speedypizza is not in stock in eu

glass lion
#

probably with xt60 connector

burnt willow
#

Ohh yeah shit i did not see the xt30u

burnt willow
hollow solstice
#

idk where you're getting that from, but this is on the Happymodel site

#

and they recommend 4s

burnt willow
#

But it also says wait let me get the picture

#

Its says here its supports 3-4s

glass lion
#

just with 3s it will be slower

#

you can run either though it does say 1100 mah max

#

which might be because of weight

burnt willow
#

Yeah i found these

#

4s 850mah

#

I think they are good

hollow solstice
#

the crux35 should be XT30 tho

humble dawn
#

Anything on that site that’s 4s and within 650-850 mah is good

#

Xt30

burnt willow
#

Okay

burnt willow
#

But the toolkitrc m7 is xt60 too

glass lion
#

you can just get some xt60 to 30 adapter

burnt willow
#

Alr

glass lion
#

ez fix

burnt willow
#

Wait is xt30u the same as xt30 or is that something different

humble dawn
#

I believe they worth fine together

#

@hollow solstice can u confirm pls

glass lion
#

The XT30-U is backwards compatible with XT30, it's just the newer lighter version of the connector.

burnt willow
#

So the ones in the middle should work

glass lion
#

id get the bottom ones

#

but its up to you

steady citrus
humble dawn
#

Toolkitrc>idst

frail ferry
humble dawn
#

Just don’t bother with the shitty ones tbh nacho

#

They aren’t safe

#

Plus iirc that one only uses balance cable and no discharge cable

#

So unsafe

burnt willow
#

Yeah i already made my decisions i think but how do i know if the goggles i wanna buy can connect to the dronr

#

And how does the toolkitrc m7 charge bc it said to use a external power supply between 7-28 volts but idk if that is a normal charger or not

humble dawn
#

Get the toolkit rc power supply

#

That’s the eaisest

humble dawn
burnt willow
#

Yeah and the ev800d gogglesb

#

But i can't choose between the jumper t pro or tx12 mrk2

#

Elrs both

#

I think tx12 mrk2

#

But im not sure

#

@humble dawn

humble dawn
#

Tx12

#

Or zorro

#

Both radiomaster

main musk
hollow solstice
#

I've seen considerably more ISDT incidents than TKRC

main musk
#

So right now I am thinking about the hota d6 pro

#

Or the isdt 608ac because of the price

burnt willow
#

U guys have any tips on like finding good spots where no one is around bc i really wanna buy all the stuff and fly but in the neighbourhood i live there are no places to fly and i can't drive yet bc im 14 and in the Netherlands u have to be 18 to Drive

#

And i can't think of any good spots near me

surreal egret
#

bit late but I recommend the toolkit m7d

#

dual channel charging and pretty reliable

Oh then maybe I’m backwards

either way, you can do a lot worse than both ISDT and toolkitrc

humble dawn
#

Yea

#

Hota >>>

burnt willow
#

Can the crux35 carry a gopro

hollow solstice
#

Not a full one, no

#

A "naked" one yea

burnt willow
#

Alr

#

Yeah i have not a real GoPro but a small action cam that should work

hollow solstice
#

What cam is it?

humble dawn
#

Not as much what cam but how much does it weigh

steady citrus
humble dawn
#

I’m visiting Amsterdam rn lmao

main musk
humble dawn
#

A runcam thumb pro wld prob be better quality

burnt willow
#

@steady citrus yeah im ducth too

#

So these would work to charge my xt30u batteries right?

hollow solstice
#

You need the opposite adapter

burnt willow
#

Oh

#

Xt60 to xt30 connecter?

hollow solstice
#

The above is also an xt60 to xt30 adapter

#

You just need to get the one with opposite plug types

burnt willow
#

What about these

steady citrus

Most of it is around or at msrp

burnt willow
#

Total is around 423 euros i think

burnt willow
#

How do i like give power to the toolkitrc m7 do i plug in s usbc or something

humble dawn

I’m pretty sure you need a power supply

Hoeveel kost zon power supply dan

Moet ik dan zo. Ding kopen

@burnt willow dit is de goedkoopste qwaliteits lader waar je geen power supply voor nodig hebt

Oh ye i know about the thread

I just thought this was the thread

ok cool

burnt willow
#

So how do i power the hota d6 pro

charred wind
burnt willow
#

Okay

#

Thats nice

charred wind
#

but if you wanna do more than 200W then you will need a DC power supply. 200W is a lot though

burnt willow
#

So i just plug in the cable that comes with it or does it not come with a cable

charred wind
#

eerr mine came with a cable

burnt willow
#

Yeah i only need to charge 2 4s 850mah batteries so i think that will be enough

#

Okay

charred wind
#

it's a standard C7 cable so you won't have a problem with it

#

since you're buying goggles too, I assume youre pretty new and in that case going down the route of flying 4s right off the bat is a way to spend a lot more on motors, props, and frames

#

lot of risk in it flying that way

humble dawn
#

thats a good point

#

another good way to start is a mobula

surreal egret
#

^

#

mob7 is good imo

#

flyable outdoors when it's not windy, and indoors too without denting walls

#

mob6 indoor only

#

mob8 don't fly indoors unless u want dented walls and furniture

humble dawn
surreal egret
#

I have too

#

and it wasn't very fun lmao

#

those rs0802 motors just don't handle it well combined with 1s input

#

but if you REALLY INSIST on a crux35 right now, buy 650mah batteries if you don't want your frame breaking all the time

#

850mah adds enough weight that it'll actually crack your arms in a crash

burnt willow
#

I already flew alot like ALOT in the sim and had a cetus kit i know its trash

#

And i just dont like tinywhoops bc they just get pulled to the ground when trying like a powerloop

surreal egret
#

just don't get 850mahs

#

replacing Crux frame is tedious

charred wind
#

I fly mine on GNB 720 HVs

surreal egret
#

^ might work too

#

850s are heavy enough that they can break the crux frame though

burnt willow
#

Alr

#

So these should work

hollow solstice
#

Bit small

charred wind
burnt willow
#

Yeah those are 75grams these speedypizza batteries and the ministar batteries are 110grams

surreal egret
surreal egret
#

get 650

silent ermine
burnt willow
#

What mah 1s batteries does the mobula 7 even use?

surreal egret
#

good balance between flight time and weight

#

non HV though

burnt willow
#

Yh i saw the mob 7 and i can get like the drone and goggles and radio for 380 and batteries

#

But lihv dont work u say

surreal egret
#

they just physically wear out faster

#

than regular ones

#

you're new too so no need for HV

#

for the goggles theres also the option of buying used locally if youre comfortable with it

burnt willow
#

Why is everyone so hyped about the pocket radio

#

Its so ugly

hearty coral
#

tiny!

hollow solstice
#

a good radio from a good manufacturer filling the only budget gap left

hearty coral
#

and it's cheap. :D

burnt willow
#

Just found these used

#

Thats like 73 euros

#

Good deal right?

hearty coral
#

I'd say yes.

#

but where do you live?

burnt willow
#

Netherlands

hearty coral
#

I have ordered from a UK store to Austria once.

#

it took almost 5 weeks for the box to get here.

#

their mail service seems to be slow.

burnt willow
#

Well the uk isnt far from the Netherlands and it says 2-3 business days to ship

hearty coral
#

you decide. shrug

humble dawn
humble dawn
#

Then you got shipping time

burnt willow
#

Ohh

#

But can u run crux3 on a 1s

surreal egret
#

dont give hv to a beginner, thats how you make em trash batteries fast

humble dawn
charred wind
humble dawn
#

Oops mistype

#

Meant the crux3

burnt willow
#

But its 1 or 2s right

#

So i guess 2s is way more power

#

Or can u fly it in like a 1s 450-550

humble dawn
surreal egret
#

tbh just get a mob7

#

with a crux3 you're gonna be having more beginner problems than with a mob7

humble dawn
#

more breakable

charred wind
#

They have a 1-2s version but when they made the ELRS version they made it 1S only

#

It performs better on 1S due to the weight

burnt willow
#

Can u do powerloops and split s on the mobula 7

#

Without getting pulled to the ground like on my cetus

charred wind
#

yeah you can

burnt willow
#

Are these good

#

To use on mob 7

steady citrus
#

There just to expensive

#

But probably yes

burnt willow
#

What about these

charred wind
#

Those are great

#

Probably the best

burnt willow
#

Okay
