Default Onboard Volt/Amp meter?

Do these exist? Something I could put on my clod to let me know how many volts are in the battery, and how much MAH is left? Something wireless to go on the remote would be coolest!

Or should I say, something less than $59.99?

I've seen them for reciever packs, no actual volt or amp numbers but they had bars that would progress from green to red to let you know if you need new batts. Maybe you could use one of those?

look on motorcycle accesory websites. motorcycle guys often add a voltmeter with display to there system. i think you'll have a hard time finding something simple that will tell you mAh.

i know this is not what you want, but there are also data logging units out there:

Astro Flight makes a unit like you are looking for callled the Super Whatt Meter Model 101. It Plugs between the battery and speed control and will give voltage up to 60 volts, current up to 100 amps, power up to 6000 watts, and battery capacity up to 9000 mah.
A wireless unit whould be much more expensive but this unit retails around $65. I'm sure you could find one on e-bay for under $50.
