I have a new Aristo C-16 in which I installed the QSI Aristo pnp sound decoder along with the QSI g-wire decoder for the Airwire 9000 transmitter. After reading Stan Cedarleaf's comments on the QSI system needing 24 volts, I set up my batteries
for 24 volts, but now am unsure about running the loco on 24 volts. Is this amount of voltage going to burn out the motor on the loco? Do I need separate battery circuits for the r/c controls and the locomotive? I also have some Bachmann Spectrum 4-4-0's and 2-6-0's which I want to equip with the QSI system. From what I have read, the Bachmann locos need only 14-17 volts to run. Is it going to be the same situation with two circuits? Any help would be appreciated.
