There was another racer running the smc in the 1/12 genX.
Booster I was using is the one from HobbyKing -

everything worked really nice, had full servo speed and transponder power for the full 8 minutes.
With the tekin RS, you have to wire in another mini switch off the + and - on the esc into the booster and than the booster into the reciever. Long story short you are suppling the reciever with 5v, and anything else down stream from there, ie servo and transponder. With the tekin you leave the speedo switch off and tuck it away somewhere. Also used the 189 software/profile.
I was a little sketptial at first about all this, and it sounds like a big hastle, but it is really not that bad, and worked really nicely.
I have some pics to post if anyone is interested, just dont make fun of my wiring "jungle"... lol
hope this helps.

Hey, Thanks for the help guys!!!!!!! Some pic's would be great. We run 3 (8 min.) qualifiers and an (8min) main in about 3 1/2 hours, is 1 pack enough??? with charging required. I am currently runnig a novak 10.5 but I will be going to a lower turn brushless motor. I am currently running 4cellNIMH. I have a GFX charger that I am going to send in for the "lipo" upgrade, but I would like to buy a smaller A/C charger to take to the track, whats a good choice. I will be charging lipo packs as well for Pro 10 and also touring car.

Looks like Novaks 1Cell lipo Step up module wont be released until the end of the month... Ugh!
Does SMC have a reccomendation to hold me over until Novak decides to grace the 12th scale market with their module? I'm running the GTB 4Cell with SS, and Novak 17.5bl -

Around me this lipo thing is begining to loose some of it's steam. Guys are selling off and switching back to NMH batteries. With the newest batches of batteries I believe they are very stable and hold up well to abuse.
