ya I have two of the old ones and love them
would like the new ones but the old ones work just fine

A little ghetto but works well.

Redvet79 since u using it do you believe that the bigger 2" x 5" or the 2" x 6" is better for 21 heads?maybe they will heat the engine quicker?
i want to use one of these.it seems to me a good-cheap buy!

I used the 1X5 to keep the amp draw down as to not run out of power when starting car. How ever i use a 7-amp hour sealed lead acid battery for about $20.00 in my stater box and always have plenty of battery left over. I also bought a cheap battery charger a wally world to charge it with. So if you have the battery amps 2X5 should be quicker. I'll see about a thermal cutoff to keep from overheating.
With my fluke meter heater draws 4.51 amps per hour. Not bad when you only use it for about 10 min. when starting a cold engine.

Reminded me of the redneck Hot Tub LOL.

Do you have a website where to buy these ?
Thanks

Yes Sir... www.competitionheat.com

You went through some serious searching to dig this thread up. I see your new to RC Tech. Welcome...

Is that the new Gatorade competition fuel?

dont mean to hijack thread..just curious aas to how is this powered as of now? i know theres a new one coming out..

Our original Comp Heater is 120v. Of course the New 12v Comp Heater can be powered from a 11.1v Lipo, 12v gel cell or 12v power supply.

Here are a few pic's of the 12v Comp Heater. The new 120v will have the new updated covers also.

still learning about volts, amps and that stuff..what do i need to power the one that is out now? also have an eta on the new one? thanks

sorry just confused about your posts..first you say the orig is 120v then in the next post you say the new one will be 120v..

Sorry... I guess what i should have said is we have made updates to our existing 120v Comp Heater. One of those improvements is the (New) cover.

Our 120v Comp Heater plugs into your outlets at home or the track (if your track has power) or you have a generator.

There is also an alternative heater available which runs from a 11.1v lipo or 12v gell cell battery.
