Using a BONE pack with a Rotor?

[lemonadeX]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at getting a Rotor and was wondering if the rechargeable BONE pack (that I'm currently using on my Halo) would fit & work with the Rotor?

Thanks,
Will

I dont think you will get the bone pack to sit in the rotor correctly.

If you wanted to go down the rechargeable route get some good 2800+ mah AA's

As far as I know, no, but then 3 AA's per 25 cases of paint is very little

Wow, okay, I didn't realise the efficiency of the Rotor! foot: Do you use 2800mah rechargeables, and does the Rotor function as well with them as regular AA's?

Thanks for the replies,

it is fine with normal AA's mate, lasts for ages

I had some for my camera so i stuck them in my rotor, they worked fine.
But for ease duracells are just as good.

I bought my Rotor Jan 2009 and put some new Duracells in it. I have not taken the batteries out and have used this once a month since and they are still the originals in there. Will be using again at the weekend.

Wouldn't bother with rechargables as normal ones last for ages !!!!!

i got a halo bone pack to try this with. it'll fit but you need to remove the whole battery tray (easy enough it unscrews).

however then comes the basic soldering/wiring job. you would need to either make a PP3/mini socket adaptor or but a mini-pluc onto the bone pack.

i can't be bothered to do it. the AAs last an age anyway. my Bone pack is going up for sale.......

IIRC Bone pack ~ 9v/3x AA ~ 4.5V so some form of voltage regulation ought to be employed if making such a modification!

the rotor runs ok on a single 9V - a few of the team have modded harnesses.
it runs fast, currently with no draw backs.

i'm not sure it would be recommended though.....
