Default RE: CDI ignition battery in receiver or direct from battery

Hello Amram,

Here is a picture of the swiches I use,

Powerbox Digiswitch 5.5V 5Amp Fail safe on 17.7gr (using my own scale) batteries 7.4V only(8.4V when fully charged 7.4V Lipo) this is my Rx Sw. Best quality connectors
Shulman Regulator 5.1 to 5.6V 10Amp (20Amp surge) 13.9gr Batteries up to 30V, so you can use 11.1V LiPos the switched version is fail safe on.Jr Swicth is 11gr(reference). Ignition. Very good quality connectors
Duralite Switched Regulator 6V 7.5 Amp 34.7gr up to 6 to 8.4V 34.7gr Fail Safe on. Ignition. Poor quality connectors.

The regulator is not in their web site, I called Don Shulman directly on the web site phone number. I was thinking at the Turnigy remote sw, I wonder how reliable it is, please let me know if you use it,thanks.

Hope this helps
