It said on the Novak site description that it is water- (resistant) anyone know just how water resistant they are? since it said "resistant" Im sure its not totally water proof. and what do i need to do to run a lipo battery with it? i have never ran a lipo but i hear good things and may want to try it sometime.

well i got mine in today and cant wait to try them out. one thing that i must have overlooked when looking at the product description is that fact that the BEC is 6V but the only argument i have is that it only allows for a 7 cell pack to be ran :-( other than that it looks like it will work great and i heard great reviews from people who have ran it

| And a 5 amper. It's a tough dude. I just intillated a MPI 6 volt regulator, just to compare it against the built in BEC of the RCE. Yeah... no noticable difference. I put it into my comp truck which is using an Airtronics 361 steering servo, and the metal geared servo that comes with the DX3, for dig duty on the RC4WD R2 disconnect trans. (Man that's nerd speak right there) Anyways, I was thinking well, maybe I've hit the limit of a 5 amp BEC. The steering servo felt a little weaker than what I though I was used to. What I found to be the culprit was the additional weight of the Kreepy Skwishy Foam Inserts. Damn them! Moral of the story? The RCE's BEC is a tough dude! |

| That sucks, what the heck was Novak thinking? Should be able to handle at least 8 cells.
