I got mine from the LHS and it works great so far. I did some testing with the stock voltage setting at 5.1v and took it up to 6.5 amps and the voltage drooped down to 4.5v with 18.6v input. The unit from my calculations was still something like 91% efficient. My LHS has a castle link for customers so I had them boost it up to 6.4v for my emaxx, I am running 3 fans and 144oz servo.

THE ONLY THINK I DON'T LIKE: is their thin output wire, it like 24-26ga and 1 foot long. Most of that voltage loss at 6.5 amps is probably in the wire.

Im kinda afraid to cutoff the Shrink wrap as I can see two PC boards inside, It also seems that the wire is soldered flat to the PC board not through.

...i was thinking that too...I might give it a shot and see what happens...I have a funky little alloy heat sink that fits perfectly too...Ok...I will redo the wires and if it all turns to poo then no problem

Hey take some photos of the inside if you can and post'em up or at least email to me, I might end up doing the same this weekend (replace wires).
