    WTS: Switching Regulator for DX7

    Increase Your DX7 Battery Life with simple Soldering skills.

    Swap the stock Linear Voltage Regulator for a more efficient Switching Voltage Regulator.

    The Spektrum 2.4Ghz module runs off 3.3v but the DX7 uses 8 x 1.5v AA batteries or a 3S Lipo pack.

    The stock voltage regulator converts the ~12v down to 3.3v for the 2.4Ghz module. As Linear Voltage Regulators are inefficient the excess current from the voltage conversion is given off as heat.

    With a more efficient Switching Voltage Regulator, less current is converted to heat which means an increased battery life.

    In fact, I have not charged my 2200mah TX Lipo after 30+ hours of usage. That's more than 120 flights!

    PM me for more information.

    Just have 2 left.

    You are still a newbie when your heartrate is governed by your headspeed...
