switching to lipo
I'm sure this will get moved but this is probley the best place to get an answer.
I'm planning on making the switch to lipo soon. I've heard more than once and seen that a Hitec 7955 will run fine off a lipo rx pack, but I'm also running a 7985MG on throttle. Will the 7985 also hold up to the voltage, without burning up and needing a regulator?

The best thing I ever did was go to life as the reg was no longer required, you wont be disapointed using one.

im not real sure why everybody has to run lipo unregulated. i have the 7955's and i know that the speed rating is some what slow and running them unregulated really picks the speed up but i think that they are more then fast enough with a 5 cell ni-cad pack. i have'nt seen a car yet that will respond to a extremely fast servo. i run a lipo regulated for 2 reasons #1 i can run all day long without a recharge on a 2000 ma pack #2 the weight , and if it wasnt for #1 i would proble stick with a ni-cad or ni-mh pack.

Hey mate, you should consider a Life rx battery - I'm not sure how your servos will go using a lipo rx, but I ran a lipo pack in my RC8b and had to use a voltage regulater, I can tell you - man it was a tight fit to install the reg.

I know it's a LiPo thread but many of you recommend LiFe here so i would like to ask a simple question.
Could you please tell me if i can run my servos (Savox SC-1256TG and Airtronics 94773M) on a LiFe 6.6V pack? I know that almost every servo should be fine with it but i heard that some heat too much what may damage the electronics.

I run Li-Fe 6,6V on my Savox 1256TG, no problem.
To next year I have (to be on the safe side) applied some thermal compound to the engine, better safe then sorry!..

Ok, so i only have to know if the Airtronics will stand the extra voltage.
Have you checked the temperature on the servo while using LiFe?
What is the safe operating temperature for a servo?

look through the HB D8 Hara thread it fits perfect

I run Losi Lipo and can go ALL DAY unregulated. I dont because it makes no sense to risk a run away.
I have seen more cars run away with a regulator than servos burnt up with out regulator.
I rather have 7.2 v going into a 45 min main than 6v...

You'll be good running both on Lipo.
