[quote user="altterrain"] <p>That's good to know Junnie. I have looked at David's previous posts for this set up and found it interesting even if only 12 v. I recently set up my Dunkirk for battery/RC trailer car operation using a ECS Basic 2 system with 14.4v in Nimh batteries. I spent about $210 for everything, $80 of which is the transmitter. The transmitter is sophisticated in being able to control 3 locos, accessories, etc. which will come in handy with expansion. A couple of questions -</p><p>Are you running the system with the smoke unit on?</p><p>and how much run time are you getting? </p><p>-Brian </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Hi Brian,</p><p>You must have missed it in my first posting, but, I'm running the system with 12, 2500 mah, NiMH batteries (14.4 volts.) The ProBoat ESC handles this voltage with no problem.</p><p>I haven't run yet with the smoke unit on because I haven't had a chance to purchase smoke liquid.</p><p>However, I have run it with the factory sound system on and the train was still running when I shut it off at 4 hours. This was on a flat surface pulling 3 cars.</p><p>Regards, Junnie</p>
