servos without running a regulator
 

hey,

just wondering at what voltage the hitec servos are capable of running up to.. i know theyre rated at 6.0v, but ive heard that they will still hold up fine running lipo rx packs without a voltage regulator... thanks for the help!

Running the servos on a higher voltage above the 6 volt rating will decrease the life of the servo. Hitec recomends you use a regulator when using lipo's as a receiver pack. :tire:

ok, well what about the robot servos? have you heard anything about how they hold up to use in RC? im tired of having all that BS wiring in my radio tray, im trying to get rid of that regulator!

The robot servos are not for R/C applications. They do not use the same pulse width as the R/C servos so they will not work properly with the rest of your equipment.

If you want to run a lipo then you need a regulator unless you want to replace the servos at a faster rate when they burn out.

ok, well heres the biggest question of them all... does hitec plan to make any RC oriented servos that are RATED for 7.2v+??? someone has to come out with one sooner or later...

I would think that with the way the industry is going that eventually there will be servos that have a 7+ volt rating to them. When this will happen is harder to say. :cool:
