They are in Tawain.

Rob I should be receiving mine tomorrow or tuesday as it's been a little behind with the weather but I will be glad to let you and Ed check it out in April at the show. I hope to have it in a loader by the show but if not I will still have it to play with. I asked the company when purchasing the pump and 3 valve block about the power draw and they gave me a straight answer saying that the peak amp draw was 9.143-9.200 at 12V and a continuous draw around the 3-4 amp range when not overloaded.

Now I know thats still a little much but I'm going to give it a try on a 5mAh lipo and set the pump only to engage with the servo throw so I can save batteries and also hopefully keep everything running cooler.

I'll keep people updated with what I find out as well.

Ed hope to see some projects coming along with that setup.
