Radline RC Batteries


How about Lithium batteries?
This is debatable. The board tests fine when the higher voltage of lithium is applied to it. We've had absolutely no problems. But we have had reports of customers' boards going out after applying lithium. Bottom line, install a lithium pack at your own risk!


Radline RC Electronics


What sort of FET is on the Radline's board?
Radlines use an H-Bridge style FET! What does this mean? This means you can use the almighty 4562 FET to stack on your Radline and run fast, powerful motors.

Radline RC Motors


What's the skinny on the motors?
As noted above, the Elite Series comes with a stock 130 motor and the Master Series comes with a stock 180 motor. The Master Series comes with an adapter to fit a 130 motor.

Can I use an aftermarket, high current motor?
Radlines use an H-Bridge style FET! What does this mean? This means you can use the almighty 4562 FET to stack on your Radline and run fast, powerful motors such as the Atomic Chili!
