Spektrum DX3r and Sr3000 receiver problems

[rcflyer55]

I don't have experience with boats but I know in our 35%-40% Planes there were problems when the RX batts were not big enough. Most everyone I know is using 5 cell or A123 packs. The 2.4 Rx's seem to need the higher voltage like Fluid said.

I was using 5cell 1400 ib packs, do you think a high mah and maybe 6cells would work??

Thank you for your recent email. The Spektrum system is not recommended for any water application. The surface of the water is reflective and could cause problems with the signal from the transmitter to the receiver. I hope this helps
