<DIV>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.<BR><BR>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?<BR></DIV>

<DIV>One generator that I can recommend you NOT purchase is <A href="http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xnu/R-100669124/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053" target=_blank rel=nofollow>this</A>. 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the plus side, it is very light and very quiet.<BR></DIV>
