I just got a new lipo battery for my dx8 tx. Can anyone tell me what charging amp rate I should use to charge it? It's says 1c charging rate on the battery so is that 1 amp?

Yup, charge that bad boy at 4a 2s and you will be golden. However you can also charge it with teh supplied charger for the Tx. It has an auto cutoff for the lipo's unlike the nimh's. But if you are in a hurry, 4a will do great.

Oh and don't forget to change your battery selection in the menu from nimh to lipo.

Thanks Tony. That is what I wanted to know. If I could use the TX charger to charge it. I know it has a built in cutoff and a built in balencer. I need to get an adapter for my lipo charger to fit it. I have none in my wireing for my chargers. Got to get to LHS and buy one. But I could just charge the first charge in the TX for know.
