Exclamation The ECU does not run on 9.9 volts, its 6.6 volts Max

Guys,

I just got confirmation from Gaspar that the ECU does not get its power from the ECU battery, it instead gets power from your RX/power expander. ALSO the recommended max voltage that we use on King Tech engine is 6.6 volts, it is not 2s Lipo ready.

While it may work, you are running it at higher than spec, I have noticed the mini GSU displays do not work on 6.6+ volts, they will flicker or may not even light up at all.

So if you are running an HV setup, make sure you use an inline voltage reducer to get the out put voltage to 6.6 volts or less.
