If you want a 'worst case scenario', measure the power when you grab the front wheels and force them into full lock against the servo saver.

Yep, tried that still only .01 to .02 amps draw through the booster which is esentially nothing. Just idle the booster input draw was .15 to .2 amps from the battery. With the servo moving it raised the booster input to maybe .3 to .35 amps. I will retest with a RX pack and see how that compares. I fully expected to see .5 amps plus from the booster, was very suprised when I did not. Thought my meter was broken.

hi guys getting into 12th scale and want to run lipo and use the tekin rs but i dont know what i have to do. Do i have to run a reciever pack and booster and does anyone have pics of a 1 cell lipo in their 12th scale

You need either a booster or RX pack, but not both. The tekin wont work without it. If you are using version 200, you can turn on the speed control switch to activate the voltage cut off or you can leave it off. If you leave the switch off the voltage cutoff is not active.

My 13.5 Redline timing marks don't line up with the sticker, its off by about a line. It also turn to max about a line past mark. Its a little odd. Thank anything is wrong?

So I pulled out my DB12RR to get it ready for the next race and decided to clean up the wiring. I shortened the servo and speedo wire to the receiver. While doing this I noticed that the deans plug could be soldered right on to the solder post on the Tekin RS.

dumb question.. how are you guys powering your transponder when there are no extra spots in the receiver cause the booster is there...? a splitter of some kind

My spektrum rec's have four slots, steering, power, batt, and aux. I plug the booster/rec pak in the batt slot and the transponder in the aux slot. Does your rec only have three?

You can get a Y connector to hook up the power and transponder in one plug. should be $3 to $5 at any local shop that carries stuff for planes.
