Servo Box-

[noyb98098]

Just curious if anyone out there is working on a better radio box? One more like the BAJA, so you don't ahve to take it appart each time you have to charge the battery.

I don't think the factory will change that. It is a safety issue with charging the battery in the box. There have been several Baja burnt bad, from charging in the box.

I installed a Futaba on/off switch that has an extra pigtail for charging the battery. Let it hang out where the servo wires go into the box.

How has that been working for you? Any issues?

I had a battery get too hot and explode charging in the battery box on my Baja. Now I take it out and get some air to it during the charging process or If I have time I can charge it in the box but at around 1 amp to keep the heat down.

After hearing that guess I'll be charging outside of the box. Thanks for the replies!
