Actually the Novak booster puts out 6v while some of the others are less. Early in the LiPo days I went with the Novak booster with my Tekin RS and it worked just fine but as the software on the RS changed I started having little problems. Apparently the issue is because both the Novak booster and the RS have a voltage cut off that interfere with each other. Someone in the Tekin or earlier in this thread mentioned there is a way to modify the booster to remove the voltage cut off circuit and this is supposed to make it work fine even in boosted classes. I have not yet had a chance to test it as I went to RX packs and recently got the TQ booster (which works great).
