7.4 volt receivers
 

just wondering what 2.4ghz receivers can handle a lipo with out the use of a reg.

i have been wanting to get the new hitec 7950 and 7940 servos and use them on a 2cell lipo but my current receiver can not handle a full 7.4volts.

thanks

All the spektrum receivers will handle at least 9 volts.

yah i just read about the spektrums handling lipos and i know the ko 2.4ghz do. but are they any other ones.

i dont really like the spektrum system and i would go ko but i dont like the price for one receiver . 130$

Really? wow. I have a DSM telemetry receiver for my DX3S with a 7.4 2000mah losi lipo and I was sweating over getting a regulator in time, are there any benefits to not using a regulator? What about output volts to the servo's, still 9v?:( ... :eek:

The output to the servos will be high. Some of the manufacturers including JR and I believe Hitec and now making servos that are rated to handle the extra voltage so a regulator is not necessary. I would check with the manufacturer of your servos to see about using them without a regulator.

Wouild a regulator be required for a 9551? Anybody link me to a regulator? I have no idea what these are....

Well listen, that is up to the user, but I have heard many guys say that a premium quality metal geared servo should be able to run the high volts despite not being a 7.4v servo.

I have never tried it but i probably would.:lol: How would i unregulate my voltage with my setup? DX3R 7.4v, lipo mamba max esc?

you can't, we're talking about nitro vehicle receiver packs.

Airtronics DSSS-RX??
 

How about Sanwa/Airtronics DSSS Receivers?

I have an airtronics MX-3 FHSS that will not handle that much it wont handle past 6.0v.

But as I understand it quite a few of the newer ESC's reduce the voltage so you should check your esc specs.

Nope.. just looked this up.. what I found said that it only handles up to 6v, any more would fry it. :(


Jerome :tire::tire:

They are talking about plugging cells directly into the reciever, not an ESC. ESCs automatically limit the voltage going to the receiver.

Thanks!
Well, I think, I can live with that...
