combatpilot said: ........the weight savings just isnt enough to be a concern. granted you are losing the flywheel and coil but you must add back in the box and all the works ie sensor,and a fairly large battery. so the weight savings really isnt much.

I use a single cell 1800 mah LiPoly battery to power my CHXL (essentially an RCEXL) ignition. It weighs a fraction of the weight of a NIXX battery and it runs fine at the lower voltage. Check out the CH ignition web site for tests that Bill has done on ignition function vs. supply battery voltage.


Except in rare occasions you can't hand start an engine with stock ignition.
