Does anyone here know if JR310, Futaba R603FF, Airtronics 92324, Spectrum SR3100,Hitec Synth,or Novak XXTRA receivers will have a problem with the 7to8-ish volts that will come from a 7.4V LiPo pack?
I just asked the question in a thread below about the Airtronics 92324. The owner's guide specifically states that you should not go over 6V because the receiver doesn't have a BEC and high voltages will burn it out - I have a voltage regulator that puts out 6.2V so I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to fry anything. It's probably receiver-dependent -- just make sure that any receiver you have has a BEC that can handle the voltage you want to dump in if you aren't using a regulator.
