The idea is to make sure your pack is fully charged when you plug it into the ESC. It would need a range from 30 to 42 volts and needs a resolution of at least one volt. I want to see a difference between 38 and 41 volts.<br><br>Jim<br>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="http://us.mc11.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" ymailto="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion" target="_blank">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a><br></div></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
