White's Eagle Spectrum with New Blue Display and Li-FE Battery Pack Mod

I wanted to share with everyone on the forum my White's Eagle Spectrum
with a new "Blue" display.
White's did the replacement as a special request for me when I sent in my Eagle Spectrum for a tune-up. DSC01675 (2).jpg

Also, I personally modified my battery pack to use a Li-FE "Lithium Iron 6.6 volt" battery.
This pack is rechargeable and is rated at 6.6 volts at 2100Mah (2100 milliamps or 2.1 Amp hours) nice!!!!
Very simple to do, with an added benefit of simple removing rechargeable Li-FE pack to revert back to original
4 "c" cell use. Li-Fe battery fits perfectly in original battery case. when you install new setup, leave top of battery case off.
I simple pushed the positive and negative wires securely under battery case contact tabs.

Battery is a Gens Ace Li-FE 6.6 V 2100mah.

You will need to use a hobby charger to properly "balance charge" the battery pack correctly.
Set your charger for Lithium Iron batteries. Plug battery "red" connector on pack to charger. Also, plug white connector on battery to "balance board" on charger. Then make sure it is set for 2 cell charging. This will make sure charger is set for 6.6 volt charging. Also set charger to "balance charge". Everything else is automatic once charge is started.

I use a Thunder AC6 Smart Charger priced at about $48. You can get these at RC hobby stores, RC helicopter web sites, etc.


Enjoy.....
