Robitronic have released this Voltage Booster for use with 1S LiPo packs. Many receivers and servos need 5-6 volts for correct operation. In some classes such as 1/12th scale that use only one lithium cell, the voltage is not high enough and so can lead to failures or damage to equipment. That is were the voltage booster comes in useful, providing a stable 5.9 volts to the on-board electronics and removing the need to an extra RX pack.
