When are the SHV controllers available?? Guess I should call them to find out.

Called and the SHV 110 and 160 are available already but through an exculsive dealer that does Jets. So I guess I need to find out who that is. They have the rights through end of June. They will handle 20S and you have to sign a death waiver......guess the volts and amps are getting serious..lol

JZ you're doing your runs at an airfield correct? If so, couldn't you slowly spin up to speed to compensate for the high current draw at start or would that not make a difference? Also if you used Fm crystal type tx/rx would it be possible to use 2 tx's (one tx at 1/3 point the other at 2/3 point) with 1 rx for extended range?

Yeah we are at an old airport. I could do the slow spoolup, but problem is my radio range sucks, and won't reach long enough to get the truck going slowly. I need more range.....big time.

And I was thinking it was a joke when I saw this site a while back: http://www.bvmjets.com/Pages/electric.html. Sometimes a retailer will do it to get orders.

Maybe that is the company that has them.....guess I will call.

If you have any more info.. hook it up... I'm in need to run 20S, just for the heck of it.

Castle should make an onboard data recorder for the SHV or Eagle Tree and BNB Products will have to come up with something.

Do you use spektrum? You could go for a high gain attenna on rx/tx to gain more range

Yeah I have a spektrum DX2.0, but I'm selling it. I need one that will handle more model memory.

I'm going to sell my DX3 (Radio only) as I'm using my JR R-1 w/ the Spektrum module. Did you talk to BVM about the SHV?

Just an update, but NO response yet from BVM on the SHV controllers that are now available. So Lutach if he answers you let me know....I have money in hand for a new contoller.

I spoke with Heather and she said Chuck was busy. I will call them tomorrow as well. If I get an answer I'll let you know. Heather told me they have some units available.

Hmm well let me know. Get the amp ratings for them if you can. CC told me if I ordered an SHV110 that I can have it custom made to be a 160 or 180 I believe. A SHV180 would be the bomb for sure....

That sounds good. I'll see what they'll say. If they won't sell any of them. I'll just get them from CC.
