i have been out of rc for over 5 years. So i needed to get all new stuff when i decided to get back in. This is the first time i have ever had to deal with having a power supply for my charger and stuff. So i have a question, I just got a 20amp power supply, and the output voltage is 13.8 volts, i have a pulsar 2 can i plug the pulsar 2 right into the out posts or do i have to kick it down some? I just wanna make sure i am not going to burn up the pulsar 2 ?

You are perfectly fien to just plug it in.
I also had that question the first time I got my PS.
Here is a lick of a distrobution box I made that really helps when you have more that one charger or a fan or what not.

yes, if you have only one charger, you can connect it directly to the power source 12Volts.
But if you want to use mutilple chargers or maybe hooking up to tire warmer or 12v fans, you may use this one awesome equipment --->

I will get it when this thing available in USA.

Yea but it costs $35.00 and mine I built for a total of $22.00 so is mine anyless nice? I actually used there idea with the switchs and the LEDs I thought it was a great Idea so I made my own for much less. And it only took two hours to build. Plus I got the joy of makign something with my own two hands.
But then again if it was readily available. I would have probably bought it also.

Stephen,
I think that yours just as nice as the muchmore gadget.
Is it possible to se the inside so I can make my own?

Thanks.

WallStreet, I think the concern here is the 13.8vdc output and Ur 12vdc charger. The voltage is not a conflict. Think of a real car charging system. it is designed to charge Ur auto battery at 14.2vdc and it is called a 12v battery. As the 'load' becomes greater (ie. more stuff hooked up to Ur PS) The voltage will drop and it won't seem so high.

Just on the market for a small size charger and would like to know if this is good enough. I charger on 6 amps and discharge on 30 amps using a Futaba CDR-5000[IMG]http://shopping.rcmodel.hk/product_i...products_id=11

Mr. Shookie or Jaybee, would one of you mind giving me a run down of what's going on inside the box? I'm sure I could make one, but I don't like taking chances with electricity. Looking at JayBee's, it looks like the negative input is wired to the output jack, with another wire going straight to the led. The positive wire extends to the positive output jack, then to the switch. The positive input is wired the other side of each switch. Is there anything I'm missing? Anything to consider when I'm picking this stuff up down at radioshack?
Thanks!

I'll draw up a diagram and post it... KEWL -JB

Cool, thanks. How much did yours cost to make? I've been looking at radioshack's website and its looking like it might be more than I had expected. I'm gonna see where else I can find this stuff.

Here you go, but remember, you layout your components how you want to in the box just make sure you wire it per diagram ... -JB
