I just got a card (12) of fox long RC plugs from a hobby shop that is going out of business.  They had an old price on it and were 30% off. (about $1.25 ea)

The thing I did not notice is the little sticker on it that said you need an extra resistor to limit the current to 6A.  It states the R is .15ohm . A 1.5 batt will pull 10A.! Is this a standard fox screwup? 

I think my globee will work because us goes down to .2ohms, but do power panels work on a current limit of voltage limit? 

Power panels work by pulsing the 12V on and off which is why you can hear them buzzing. I never go by the green and red scale because different brands of plugs can have a huge difference in the correct setting for a decent glow. With a new plug I always turn the knob right down before connecting it then slowly wind it up until I have the glow I want and then check the setting on the scale. OS plugs always seem to need to be way up in the red while others just barely get into the green.

I remember seeing a Caution from Fox, either in an ad or on a plug card, saying if you used a 2 volt wet cell you needed an external resistor to drop the voltage if you were using the 1.5 volt plugs.  Fox was at that time making 2 volt and 1.5 volt plugs.  Do they still make 2 volt plugs?
