Thanks wingracer and oeoeo327!!!

Hi !

When you use a 1S lipo , it's better to use smart booster or a lipo/lipo rx ?

thanks

Boosters work well for stock to mild modified applications for the most part. Some people have been finding the new software for the RS uses enough current even in 17.5 that the booster cuts out. An RX pack will work well for both stock and mod and would probably be recommended for use with the RS.

Boosters and RS
 

The number 1 booster on the market to use with a RS is the RC DYNAMICS Built by Mark Jordan It is minute in size and comes with a built in switch .Used exstensively in the Uk with out problems.

if you want the link to purchase one PM me.

I have no connection or affilation to RC dynamics.

I would go with a Rx pack. Some of the boosters seem to work well, some don't but a pack eliminates all the potential problems a booster could cause.

Have you tried this booster with the Tekin RS esc on V203?

Just curious. If you use a LiPo receiver pack at a ROAR sanctioned race, are you required to remove it from the car and charge it in a LiPo sack as per ROAR rules?

Don't know but if you want to avoid the possibility, get a LiFe pack.

Wasn't trying to avoid it since I'm using a boost module. If I decide to use a receiver pack, it will definitely be a LiFe pack.

Carpet track just opened up in town. I'm thinking about either the Associated 1/12 12R5.1, BMI Racing DB12RR Pro Racing Lipo Edition, or the CRC Gen-XL Carpet Knife 1/12. What do you guys suggest\why. Thanks for the help.

All 3 of those cars are great options and you can't go wrong with any one of them. I would suggest finding out what parts the LHS at the track is going to stock and factor that into your decision. That said I highly recommend the BMI (I am biased as I drive one). The main reason I like it is the rear suspension. The way it is designed you don't have to mess around with tweak screws or side roll springs. Other than that the design follows pretty traditional 1/12th design. This makes it simpler for me to setup and maintain. And the car handles very well. But if you do decide on the BMI hold off for just a little while...the car is getting updated with parts that were tested at the Snowbirds :)

I've been using the RC Dynamics booster with V203 and a Redline 10.5 since the firmware came out. No problems at all. Had problems with a TQ booster with both 200 and 203 and the RC Dynamics one fixed them, as well as speeding up my servo! It's a JR servo as well, which some people say they have had problems with when using boosters.

Anyone owning a CRC 1/12 Gen XL needs to check out Troy's website:

Quality workmanship and most important individualism. :nod:

I'll just second m the recomendation for the BMI, I'm still driving the original DB12R and love it. :nod:

Thanks, I've not had any issues with the TQ on V200 but another local racer tried V203 with the novak booster and it did'nt work well at all.

Same set-up as Trev, no problems at all. Servo speed is good, no drop-off in any electronics during a race. Thanks to complete brain fade on my part, it worked even when I dumped the LiPo pack below 3v because I forgot to charge the LiPo! :blush:

No connection to RC Dynamics, except a love of their product! HTH :)
