Hi,
I have noticed a few people running single cell lipo 3.7v. What are you using to get the voltage up to power your radio equipment? I know there are a couple of people using an mtroniks piece of wizardry at my local track, but they have had some "stuttering" problems. Any info appreciated :)

try this one as it's in favour with the UK 12th National drivers http://www.rcdynamics.co.uk/

I use the above and it's fine. Mine are 6v output on mine but the newer version is 7.2v I believe.

Also have this one on 4 cell in Mardave sideecar and has given no issue

beware of the cheaper ones on ebay though

as for glitching with the M'troniks item it could be anything to do with esc their using / setup / wiring etc
