Ive been using the SMC LiFe pack. Not sure of the mah but I think its around 300. At the birds I switched over to a OHP Voltage booster instead to save some weight on a heavy car. Noticed no difference at all in on track performance, lap times or runtime. Simple to install and dont have to worry about charging either.

Power Push LiPo. Had a LiFe pack (not Power Push) go bad despite 0.2 amp charge rate used, just don't want to take another chance. The speed control we use recommends a rec pack instead of a booster due to electronic response time (or something like that) to keep performance optimum.

I am currently using a LRP SXX competition version 2 in my 1:12 and was wondering what is the benefit of adding a rec pack/booster?
Will it cause the ESC to overheat?
Manual states not needed or is this wrong?
Thanks

Your right it doesnt when I checked either. Email Jerry at [email protected] Tell him I sent you. I think they are 24.00 for the booster. It has a plug that goes into the receiver and then a small red and black wire that solder to the battery post on the speedo. It comes with a switch and you just turn that one switch on and thats it. It provides 5.5 volts to the electronics.

www.ohiohobbyplus.com The novak one is huge and looks like a birds nest. While I have never had a Novak or had a failure I have raced with several that have had failures. The OHP one is tiny and easy to install.
