<DIV><FONT size=2>the 9100 RX is designed around High current draw applications.
Our models don't really require that. The RX is heavier than the 921 or 9000
RX's and part of that is the large battery leads serving the RX. I suppose you
could use it but you are not going to be gaining much. Its designed around the
larger applications that are 33% plus or in things like Jets with a large number
of servos with higher stress applications.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Our pattern models are drawing power in the 1.5-2amps
max...this is peak and worst case usually. I have done some testing to make sure
I'm carrying a good battery supply. Using a 1650nimh or 2300nimh on 4.8V is
working for me in even the Bipes...Another good solution is the Jaccio regulator
with a lipo or Li-ion at about 2000-2400mah capacity....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The 9100 RX is designed around models that might be using
(5-6) 8711 servos or even more...and could be pulling upwards of 2-3-4amps or
more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>At these currents and loads the normal RX switch and lead from
a switch to the RX is not sufficient to carry these high currents for very
long....so the 9100 RX is a solution to this application as it has large 16ga
wire leads for power into the RX. This adds benefit in the high current
applications but not really anything to our pattern models...other than
weight.</FONT></DIV>

any other way.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hello all,<BR><BR>Just would like to know opinions on this product. Any
one using it? I like the idea of the two batteries input and the soft
switch.<BR><BR><A
