I suspect the shielding should be good for use on 2.4 GHZ

Status: offline 		That's sad because you mostly get what you pay for. (Not always, there are some bargains to be had, but mostly.) I still put a premium on quality (both product and service) and that's why all of my ignitions are the real deal CH.

Has anyone had one or tried it?

But you are saying that is what he said. That is hearsay from you.
I am interested in hearing from someone that has bought one and tried it.
Most of our ARF's are Chinese made. They do an excellent job that you would not be able to afford if they were made in the US.
I have a lot of chinese made electronics that are of excellent quality and cost less tha 1/2 of those made in the US or Europe.
I just bought a 100 amp (44V) ESC made in China. It has Fairchild HV FETs apparently because China don't have HV FET's. Its first quality and cost less tha $100.
As I said I am interested in hearing from someone that has bought one and tried it.

Status: offline 		You are welcome to do as you please sir but in the future please don't accuse me of hearsay as I am not the one who referred back to CH in this thread stating the blue units were not well shielded. I also wish to assure you that just because you say something first hand about your purchases of Chinese merchandise doesn't make me believe it is good.

I also take offense to you guessing as to what I might be able to afford so maybe I better not frequent this thread until the mods have a chance to get things in order.

db,

I have relayed what CH told me about this ignition, it is not in a metalized case and therefore rf can be a problem. Why don't YOU buy one and let us know how it performs.

Buy one yourself and pass on the experiences. Why have somebody else do it? The most you'll be out is $25.00.

Status: offline 		I bought one some months ago, and put it on my 40cc Sthil conversion. It seems to work OK, but i guess the lack of shielding can be a problem in some setups.
It makes a good spark, and seems to work fine, but i have not done much testing yet , i just cheked my engine will start and run.
It seems it lacks control of timing, i can not see any microcontroller inside.
The electronics inside is mostly covered with some black epoxy, so there can be components not visible..

What does "potting" Mean?

Dirtybird,

They tell me it takes up to 6 weeks to get it. I thought someone might have one.
BTW do you have one? If not just why are you in this thread?
Why can't I ask a simple question without getting a lot of unrelated comments?

I tried to get the rcexi ignition but the manufacturer wouldn't sell to me. He said to go to CH.
I would buy one but I don't expect to be here for the six weeks it takes to get it.
As for the metalized case you can get one from Radio Shack for less than $5.
You probably wouldn't need one if you are on 2.4ghz

Potting is when they cover up an electrical component with some form of epoxy.

Status: offline 		I received my "blue ignition" from HobbyCity today - 11 days after ordering. The plastic case has "XYZ CDI" molded on the top. It's probably the same one that comes with XYZ engines. Now I have to get it installed and do some testing.
