Also better supplies are longer lasting.

The best bang for the buck is the Pyramid PSV-200. ITs 20amps with a cooling fan. 50$US!! A bunch of us have them at my track and they sure blow away the overpriced much more units. I had retired my trusty 15amp pyramid of 10years for this new light weight job. Never had issues with the old pyramid...



We got ours from:

Pyramid makes great PS. I have this classic.



That new switching one is a lot sleaker. Switching power supplies, don't produce as clean (flat) a DC voltage which, I'm guessing, is why Pyramid still makes all the others (scientists and technicians need the cleaner signal.) For most real world applications, including RC, the switching supply should work fine.
