Title: Conversion to Onboard Battery, R/C
Post by: emartin187 on March 01, 2008, 06:45:25 PM
Do you have a wiring diagram for converting the K-27 to onboard battery, radio control using a Spektrum receiver and 3rd party R/C Throttle.

Which 3rd party R/C are you planning to use?

If you used the Spektrum receiver with my EVO version of the upcoming PnP-3 ESC you simply remove the dummy pcb in the tender and plug the ESC in. 
No re-wiring required.
No additions to the Bachmann electronics.
No changes to anything.

No matter which brand of ESC you use you will have to provide an ON-OFF switch, charger access and the batteries.

Sounds good.  Is it compatible with Sierra Sound (K-27) which I already have?  When is it available?  How soon can I get one and how much does it cost?

Hello Earl.

I tried to send a personal message but it didn't work.

I hope this is OK to do with the Bach man.

Here is the price list for the EVO version of the PnP-3.

They should be ready about the middle of March at the latest.
