1. An enhanced hybrid battery elimination circuit for a radio controlled vehicle comprising:
a linear regulator:
a switching regulator connected in parallel to the linear regulator between a power input and a converted power output;
a switching enable/disable system provided between the power input and the switching regulator;
a linear enable/disable system provided between the power input and the linear regulator;
a switching electrical decoupler provided between the switching regulator and the converted power output;
a linear electrical decoupler provided between the linear regulator and the converted power output;
wherein the switching enable/disable system enables the power input to flow to the switching regulator and the switching electrical decoupler couples the switching regulator from the converted power output and the linear enable/disable system disables the power input from flowing to the linear regulator and the linear electrical decoupler decouples the linear regulator from the converted power output when a monitored voltage level is above a voltage threshold; and
wherein the linear enable/disable system enables the power input to flow to the linear regulator and the linear electrical decoupler couples the linear regulator to the converted power output and the switching enable/disable system disables the power input from flowing to the switching regulator and the switching electrical decoupler decouples the switching regulator from the converted power output when the monitored voltage level is less than or equal to the voltage threshold.
