Couple other Items I thought of, if any one is interested... <br /> <br />Radios - We are currently running 7 of these systems, so we have cheap ($30) radios, Tower Hobbies 2TS to be exact, this is a simple surface AM stick radio. I take out the throttle return spring and the throttle can be set and left at any position. On this subject, glitching, it happens, FM is better but much more expensive (~$75-100). I have not done this yet, but I plan on experimenting with a few small ceramic capacitors on the motor leads to see if that help a bit. I have one futaba and one airtronics radio in the group, both are superior to the tower hobbies radio, but both are $25 more. <br /> <br />Batteries - I am still using NiCad as I had TONS of packs from the R/C Car days laying around, they are in rough shape for R/C racing, but work fine for trains, 2+ hours of run time... <br /> <br />Connectors - I run Deans Ultra Plugs (Again R/C Days) for my battery connection and Deans 2-Pin Micro plugs between the cars. Black with black wires looks kinda like air hoses, kinda... <br /> <br />I have been experimenting with this for 2 years now ever since my family built a large outdoor steam/battery only railroad, so let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for that matter!
