I know that it is noisier than the Honda.  I got both and returned the blue one.

That is light and quiet.  Some people have put a resistor in the line between the battery and ESC to prevent the arc when plugging the battery into the ESC .  When the caps are charged (seconds) you then fully plug in the battery either removing or shorting out the current limiting resistor. 

Sounds like exactly the same problem here with a large inrush of current to charge the caps. Wonder if the temporary current limit resistor will work here?

One generator that I can recommend you NOT purchase is this . I bought one. It will power a 500w halogen light without any problem, but the inrush current into a DC supply (capacitors charging up) will cause the output to trip. I have a 20 amp 12v supply that will work, but anything bigger will trip it. 

On the plus side, it is very light and very quiet.
