I bought two and forgot all about them.  I just tested them.

They both worked well at 12V with my SLA batteries.
Both had a little chatter even after adjusting trim.  They
provide BEC to the radio so you will not need a separate
Rx battery.

I stalled the first one at 12V 50A for about 10 seconds with
no problems.  Then I tried 24V and toasted it.  It fried my
favorite TQ3 Rx that I use for testing and Amir used during
the recent battle.

I did not abuse the second one.  I will sell it for $10 plus $4
shipping (because real men don't need turrets).  Contact me
off the list if interested..

Joe
