The original rechargeablehobby pack, NiCad batteries have very high current handling, highcapacity, and can last up to 1000 charging cycles. Good chargingprocedures are required to reduce the possibility of developing a“memory” effect and shortened run times.Channel - The 27 MHz frequency band is divided into 6 channels so thatup to six models can be operated simultaneously. Each channel isreferred to by its flag color and channel number, as shown t g your frequency - A routine, verbal check to make surenobody else in your area is operating on the same channel.
