But don't forget to set the RX voltage alarm for the Optima RX's to 5.6 V because at 5.6V +0.6 V the A123's are almost completely discharged.

FYI: Any Hitec standard size servo can be used with unregulated A123's.

Somewhere I read there is a problem with using the rcexl opto kill. Can someone explain this?

I only ask because I have a unused rcexl

I can't be certain, but I thought at one time Hitec was thinking this
was causing the lockouts, but this wasn't true.??



Do range checks and all should be good to go but...Perhaps Mike can answer that one better

Correct... it turned out to be noise from the ingnition that the V2.02 firmware resolved.
