Your right @emtp275, that power board is being replaced with a smart fly unit. I've already had problems with the built in opto-kill, bypassed it with a smart fly unit.

Thats exactly what happened to mine, Opto worked fine with 6V but as soon as I tried to use 2S as they say you can if failed.

I'm having great success with the below unit:

It doesn't have the opto kill feature that the smart fly has but I use tech aeros ubec anyway so it suits me to a tee

Really odd... I use the RCExcel Opto-kill switches on everything I own. Never a single problem. On my lil Edge, running power straight off the SF. (7.4) 260 and Sukhoi both have their own 7.4 ignition pack. PAU is using a 7.4 Lipo for ignition. Will be using two Opto-kill swith on the 128 four cylinder. Since the ignition draw so little power, I plan to run both power supplies straight from the SF. like the lil Edge. Will be using twin 5200mah 7.4 Lion's on the new 128 powered beast.

Rob he talking about the HK power board, I think it had built in opti kill, those things failed continually.

Yea I got a board from red wings and they have a built in opti that sucks, as soon as I hit it with a 2S i fried it. Along with many other things i got from red wings its all junk i almost lost a 30center twice in 2 days due to extensions that were crap
