These are the primary problems with it. I actually talked to Knate over at FA and his suggestion for me was to go with an inline converter because his fix it won't offer the adjustability for drastic/frequent gear changes.

All he's doing is doing a 60% conversion. I suppose you can use a resistor and fine tune. The part about being cheaper is not true if you can get a prototype unit for free.

Good info though.
