for 1s LiPo & 4 cell powered cars

few of us running 12th Nationals use these rather than a receiver battery pack

Designed primarily for 1/12th scale racing and other small RC model applications. The RC Dynamics Voltage Booster was designed for use in both single cell LiPo and 4 cell NiMH powered models, where the main battery pack does not have sufficient voltage to power the electronics. The voltage booster ensures that the model electronics are supplied with stable 6V supply throughout the duration of the run, regardless of input voltage. In 3.7V LiPo powered cars this means you are assured of reliable operation of all electronics, as well as constant servo speed throughout the run, without the need for, or the extra weight of the alternative separate receiver pack. In NiMH powered cars, whilst not normally a necessity, the steady 6V supply ensures glitch free operation of all electronics and constant servo speed. With many servos, response and feel is much better with a 6V supply than without the booster.
