I need a combo of boost drivers to equal 1.8A. Can you guys help me?

Thanks :beer:

So do many people when V5's are back in stock you will be able to do that.

True. But that will also cost me $49. I'm looking for as cheap as possible. And I need them soon.

lol...
cheap?

2 NJG-18's in paralell, each set to ~900mA, this should cost <$9. DX has them in stock, but expect it to arrive in no less than 2 weeks... or try PMing DTR, he seems to have plenty of them on hand

3zuli: that was the original plan, but when dtr tested it, they don't work in parallel.

My last option is the AK-007

these AK-007 drivers haven't been tested in a paralell combination yet...
however, the last trick you can try with njg-18's is to wire them like this

and use some low-resistance (like 0.5ohm or less) resistors
