[QUOTE="oexing, post: 129438, member: 1493"] Well, one can have the idea that anything from China is crap - when not willing to find out wherefrom most electronics come in all sorts of equipment, no matter how famous the brand may be. You bet most electronic devices in Mercedes, BMW, Rolls etc. were not produced in their homeland , that was the case decades ago. Same goes for the computer sitting in front of you - or Shindengen for you, look up their manufacturing places. So no question for me to source anything from anywhere that looks useful and at a good price. Why shouldn´t I when all big companies do just that - for higher profits in their pockets. My point here actually was to go not for another regulator that cuts voltage and power at 14 V , dump a lot of power into heat sinks in this process that otherwise would be useful for electric power - stupid idea to accept this. So thumbs up for the 48 V converter cum rectifier at € 25.- , tested in my workshop OK with NO heat issue at all for the converter, just the rectifier should sit on a piece of alu I´d say, was a bit warm after half an hour at over 200 W / 13.8 V load. If you got an Alton I´d be interested in getting reports about any power gains with said converter/rectifier kit , at least it is a low cost try at € 25.- . There was a thread about my mods earlier , see below the link, [URL='https://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/threads/make-your-own-generator.11619/page-5#post-110808']"Make your own generator"[/URL] there are some links to these servo motors and more like in photos above for those who like a bit of lathe work in times for own creations, the easy way is to get an Alton - plus maybe the converter set. I looked for alternatives to Altons when I read about reports of failed plastic gears in the older versions. This was changed it seems but power is not the same class like with the China brushless motor types in my mods at around € 80.- with express shipping.
