First post/First build...feel accomplished!!

[RonB]

Hello all! Finally completed my first MHS build. I feel so accomplished. Tried to go inexpensive, simple, yet cool. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. :)
Singled red LED
NB v2
28 mm premium speaker
7.4v li-ion battery (currently running 3.7v li-po until I get the other battery recharged)
All polished alum saber with blue blade retainer screw.
I'll post pics once I sign up for a hosting site
Thanks for all the great info you guys listed here, it was extra helpful!!

Welcome to the Forums.

The NB does NOT work with 7.4V battery packs.

Is that why the sound stutters? Thought it was a low battery! Glad I have RC batteries to use. Anyone need a lightly used 7.4
Li-Ion?

Probably. There is no selling here on this Forum. ;)

Understood. Thanks again for the help!

From what ive read on the site, the 7.4 puts the NB above its maximum rating

As FJK said, yes.

NB max voltage is 5.5V
