Everything is ok and should be working fine, after ten minutes of fustration he puts the rec pack on the charger only to find that the pack was not charged as he thought it was
. As a result of all this he missed his heat, now while you as an experienced racer might not make this mistake had he been using a booster he would not have missed his heat. This is just a real example of an advantage to using the booster
And point taken in this regard. I guess as an experienced racer I tend to take these things for granted. I can also tell you though, that I have seen a less experienced racer ruin a speedo because of the wiring involved in running a booster. Of course after we hit the GP3300 era, we didn't have to worry about any of this untill we switched to LIPO.....Hmmmm.
