hi mate, welcome to the site :thumbs_up:

ill go have a look for you, when you say the chargers are only for the us do you mean they have a two pin plug that plugs into the main power? if so, thats easily sorted. all you need and a plug convertor, ive got one spare.. but ill go look for you mate and see what i can find then ill post the links, give me 5 minutes or so :thumbs_up:

US ones tend to be 110v as well, will fry in seconds so be wary :thumbs_up:

Marc I actually emailed Horizon about those Micro T lipo sets, trying to find out if the chargers were compatible with 230v, I got an email back telling me they weren't, so you'd need an adaptor plug that converts the voltage :(

wow really? thats mad, tim was right then.
thanks for the sound info guys :thumbs_up:
strange thing is though the majority of my chargers are us two pin, they all work fine, BUT just depends on what ones you get then i suppose..

:cheers: :thumbs_up:

Ritchie - March 13, 2008 05:00 PM (GMT)
Yeah I have definately seen US spec chargers that are 230v compatible, shame the Losi one isn't :(
On the upside Horzon did say they expect a European version at some point...

I've just been taking a look at the specs of the Losi Micro T Lipo system here, and if my very basic electronic knowledge serves me correctly, with the old "Watts=Volts x Amps"; with 110v charging at 150mA it should draw just under 17W?... If thats the case, one of these US-UK 110V Stepdown Transformers will do just fine for the Losi kit, and its pretty cheap too!! :thumbs_up:

I got one of those chucked in with an RC I bought that came from US to drop it down, and it worked fine, was a 300mA charger as well
:thumbs_up:
