Default Lipo's in TX's??

I asked Futaba tech support this same question and was informed that all Futaba TX's can handle up to 13v and therefore a 12.6v lipo (3s1p) would be just fine and not cause harm to the system.

What I want to know is if the same might be true of Hitec TX's as well. I have several Laser 4's and would like to use ( replace the batteries as the older Nicd's are beginning to fail to hold a charge.) 3s1p 2200mah lipo's in them as well.

Will a voltage regulator be required or some form of reduction in voltage in order to use the 12.6v or can it be plugged right in as in my other radio?

Thanks.

With a non computerized radio like the Laser it should be fine. With a computerized radio we do not recommend it wit out a regulator.
