The issue with the KingTechs and high voltage when they come off the charger is that the KingTech glow plugs will not take more than 10.0 volts. I bugged Dirk about this and he said that they were serious about that limitation. So just motor the turbine a bit to knock the voltage down to 10 or a little below and it works fine. An Li-Ion isn't going to cut it for ECU, just not enough power output. as for the JetCats, the bigger issue with the 6.0 ECU's was that they had to be converted to run 3 cell LiFe's, the Ver. 10 units will take the Life's or LiPo's. So the only LiPo ECU battery I have left is on the Behotec in my Avanti.

For custom packs, I like WrongWay RC. WrongWayRC.com

Nice work, fast shipping and he stands behind all of his stuff. You can also get real A123's from Richard. I do not know what's going on with Steve at NoBS, but I ordered a JR 12X refill of Eneloops for the cassette and after he got my money and acknowledged it, I didn't hear back from him for weeks. His website says not to call, just email but he ignored every thing I sent him. After 30 days I filed a complaint at PayPal and got my refund from him in a couple of days. So I got the pack from Batteries America, less expensive and it came in about a week. Steve sent me an email saying he'd gotten into a car wreck on his way to the Post Office with a bunch of orders that were all destroyed, he didn't have a car, been in the hospital for awhile, and so on. I suppose it might be true, but he could have answered an email and didn't. So I'm not planning on using NoBS again. Not the same operation since he moved to Florida.....
