Not a bad idea Randy, but that's where I got them in the first place ;-) I'm waiting for a callback from LL on the cost of replacement "new style" motors. It took about 10 minutes ot convince the guy on the other end of the line that there was a difference, and that it mattered. Maybe there's a magic person I should email instead? As for them frying an MRC pack, I haven't run into that one, but my dad's super-hardcore DIY transistor throttles from 1971 run pretty darn warm (7A capacity, pure DC...he doubleheaded big brass back then [;)]) and if the clips get wiggled you get sparks! Not good! I've been looking at the 1.5A decoders for about an hour now, and they'd probably work alright (it does take a lot to load those suckers down once they're running) but the startup surge really worries me, especially with the wimpy 2.5A output on my Zeyphr. Oops, back to work. The boss is glaring in my direction. -dave
