I've got 2 CRRC 26's. One mk 1 and one Mk2, with the beam mount. I'd recommend a 6v battery on the receiver and servos, and 4 cell on the ignition. Don't use 6v on ignition, as they tend to fry!

For safety, on my larger models, I use two battery packs through a Powerbox dual switch, which keeps supplying power, if one battery fails/shorts out. Peace of mind.

Couple of Sub -C A123 type battery linked through a matchbox or similar should be fine. Savox all round will draw some power. CRRC 26 v2 (if it is) is an ok engine. Slightly down on power to a Zenoah,MVVS equilvelant. No standard clunk in the tank, go felt.

 

Oh, Take the ratchet off your throttle stick if you haven't already. Aids 3d'ing.
