RE: Favorite optic kills?
The Ultra IBEC will drop receiver buss voltage down to the point where it's safe for the ignition module. 5.3 volts is the number that comes to mind. I bought mine through Syssa, though I know you can get it elsewhere as well. To my knowledge the Ultra has a pretty good reputation.
I understand the Rcxel will do that also, but there's some work that you'll need to do to it to make it do that. Doesn't look like too big a deal to me, but I haven't done it yet. Haven't seen many comments form those that have, so how well it works is kind of an unknown at this point.
