hey,
i am currently running a 3pm 2.4ghz with a R603FF, and Ive run it in my slash with great success, no overheating problems but now need another one, so will a R603FS work on the 3pm too?
Also because the slash has such a tiny radio box (since it only houses the reciever) does anybody think i'll have overheating problems? I reckon i should cut some plastic out the reciever casing as they are easy to open up.
Cheers.

The heating problems came form inside the receiver, voltage regulators! Not to worry about operational temps unless they get above 150 degrees.

This is a bit off topic, but couldn't you guys run regulators like when you run a lipo in a nitro car? that way, the servos connect direct to the lipo so you aren't relying on your receiver for all the power. Just a thought.

The receiver has to power the servo(s). I've read that you could put a low mah lipo to a reveiver tho.

The only wires that need to go to the receiver are the signal and ground wires.
You make the ground into a Y harness and take the positive for the servo directly to the regulator.
A pos/neg will need to come out of the regulator and go to the receiver battery port as well.
