I've been running Ace unregulated for two seasons now. No problems. Granted, their CS will likely tell you it would void any warranty, but mine have been solid

i have been running ace servos on straight lipo on throttle and steering for the past few months with no issues.

currently i have hitec 7950 hv servos as steering and ace 1015s for throttle in my buggy and truggy (losi 2.0).

I just recently smoked two AE 1313's on straight lipo.

Never had an issue with 1015's on straight lipo.

I'm new and still just practicing. I have the 1015 for steering and thinking of getting getting the same for throttle to replace the swapped stock servo.

If I can get one more positive reply on the unregulated lipo then I am going for it.

just do it. make sure your endpoints are set correctly and make sure your throttle linkage isnt all messed up, as in, make sure the carb slides smoothly and has a little play at full throttle as well as pulling straight and level.

I would suggest having spare gear set's and top cases on Hand if your going unregulated...the 1015's are twitchy enough on 6.0v...i can only imagine them on 8.4v .....plus the extra voltage is only gonna crunch on the brass gear's and weak top case even more...is there a specif reason you want to go unregulated WingWrecker ?

I ran my 1015's unregulated through a 603FS futaba receiver, and although I didn't smoke anything, I had a hesitation in the throttle input, car just didn't feel right, like the servo motors were cogging or something. Put in a regulator and instantly got better. May be a receiver issue or servo issue, but I get the best performance without delay when I run my regulator or 1600 nimh, I couldn't tell you which was in the car if I didn't know.

So you are willing to risk the chance of your throttle servo going out and possibly creating a run away and blowing up your mill. Not here. I run high volt servos when I use lipo thats the only safe way. I have not tried it. I am not that crazy. Why take the chance.
