So which one are you going to get dirty?????

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Right now i have no way to charge the battery in the radio, so neither machine is useable. Looks as though they will both remain as new until i can figure out where i can get wall chargers that will work. Seems the radios are designed for European current and not N. America.

My DX8 came with interchangeable plugs. Maybe a charger from one of them would work?

The loader i just got has the Graupner mc 20 . And my excavator has the Futaba FX30

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
U can get a futaba charger that will work with that I had the futaba 20 channel and used a charger from the 9 channel just fine I also like to change the batteries in them to lipo and they last forever

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
I sent a message to Premacon so i will hopefully see what they suggest in a day or two. The Futaba radio came with a full charge so i have not had to recharge it yet, but sooner or later it too will require recharging . I will post pictures of what i have tomorrow and that way someone might know better what i can do.

Trucker n.
I was wondering if i could just switch batteries too . But isnt the battery wired into the radio ? or is it a plug in battery ?

trucker n 04-10-2014 01:20 AM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
In the futaba It had a plug and I changed inside to deans plug

bigpipespete 04-10-2014 01:20 AM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Yes they come with a plug that goes in the wall , but they have 2 long prongs not the style of our N.American wall outlets

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Thanks for the help , i will post pictures so you can better understand what i have .

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
If u got chargers with them I can help u get what is needed to get it to work also can I message u I wanted to ask u some questions about your machines

trucker n 04-10-2014 01:25 AM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
All I need to know is what plugs are on the end that plugs into the radio and the output voltage on the charger it should have a name plate on it with that info

trucker n 04-10-2014 01:29 AM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
R your outlet the same as the us or not

bigpipespete 04-10-2014 02:05 AM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
I sent you a pm trucker n . Please feel free to ask , i will try to answer any questions you have.

bigpipespete 04-10-2014 02:06 AM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Yes our outlets are the same as what you have in the USA.

by the way, nice paint job on the loader, I saw it on Premacon app and it looked stunning.

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Fwiw my graupner radio came with a euro plug, I bought an international adapter and plugged it in... The charger supports 100-240 v ac... As an input..

So the one Elliot refers to should work... Just check the charger specs..

torarne81 04-10-2014 08:47 AM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Can't you just take the battery out of the radio, make a charge cable, and charge it with the charger for the rest of your batteries? Got 2 futaba radios, and the chargers still is in the transmitter case (never used) ;)

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Hey Mike The loader is looking Great ..thanks for sharing and congrats ..This coming show in July should be awsome ..Hey just a word of caution on the charger...There should be a small diagram on the charger with the polarity + and - of the plug going into the radio ..make sure this is the same as what on the charger that was sent from premacon

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Its not a charger in the sense i think most are thinking , its just a plug in the wall and plug into the radio and it charges.

I wish now that i had been a better student in high school when i took electricity class !

apfubar 04-10-2014 05:28 PM

Re: 2013 Liebherr 944
 
Cool... The adapter linked by Elliot will work(Canada runs 120v the same as the US, which is in the 100-240 input voltage range)...

You could go down to your local electronics store and ask for one as well.

Cheers,
AP

Nice looking machine my friend!! Love the color. I wish we all lived near one another , we'd have a smoking spread of machines.
