Futaba 3PL receiver voltage?
I've just bought a Futaba 3pl system for my e-revo brushless. But i have a doubt concerning R2004GF voltage.
On Futaba's 3PL web page, the indicated voltage for receiver if the following:
Dimensions: 1.5 in x 1 in x 0.4 in (39 mm x 26 mm x 10 mm)
Weight: 0.5 oz (14 g)
Power requirement: 4.8V or 7.4V (shared with servos)
Current drain: 30mA at "no signal"
but within the manual is:
Receiver R2004GF:
(FHSS system, 4 channels)
Power requirement:
4.8V or 6V NiCd battery
So, what is the max voltage that should I apply to the receiver? I'm asking this because I will use a hi-voltage servo (7.4v) with a CC Bec. I would like to be sure to not broke the receiver.
Thanks ahead ,

Hmm, that is confusing! FWIW, Futaba's US website shows the R2004GF receiver as being good for up to 7.4V:

Actually, all the FHSS receivers are rated for 7.4V:

I'd say that you should be OK with your proposed setup.

Yes, indeed! It's quite confusing, since inside the manual it's never mentioned 7.4v..
However, I mailed Futaba asking the same question in the first post.
I think that i will set 6.0v till Futaba answer me...

Futaba support "Thank you for your recent e-mail.
That is rated at 4.8-7.4 volts, so go with the settings on the website."
Ok it's rated for 7.4.....
