The Multiplex Easy Star was designed for first time pilots in mind and offers incredibly stable flight characteristics and durability.

The Easy Star flies with little input and has the ability to recover easily. Made from Multiplex’s durable ELAPOR Foam, the Easy Star will take a tremendous amount of abuse without breaking. When it does break it's easily repaired with CA (super) glue. Even after many crashes, the Easy Star will be ready for more.

MegaPro Power Options

Megatech's MegaPro buggies and trucks (formerly known as ProPulse) have two battery power options available. The first is a 7.2V 1200MHz NiMh battery pack; the second is a 7.2V 1400MHz NiMh battery pack. The second option will give you a few more minutes of run-time than the first battery. Typical 7.2V stickpack battery packs used for other r/c cars don't work with the MegaPros because the battery compartment requires a unique two-part cell configuration.

Either one of these battery packs can be charged by an 120V AC wall charger or by a 7.2V DC Fast Charger. The AC wall charger takes about 10 hours to charge the 1200mAh battery pack, while the 7.2V DC FastCharger only takes approximately 40 minutes to charge the same battery. However, the first few times the battery is charged we would recommend using the wall charger because it will fully charge the battery gently. Do make sure you time the charging time because the wall charger is a timed charger, not a peak charger. The battery should be slightly warm to the touch when it is fully charged and then let it cool before inserting it into the truck or buggy. The Fast Charger is a peak charger that lights a green light when charging and changes to a red light when finished charging.


You can find all these power options for your MegaPro at RC Hobby Explosion.
