Questions?? Futaba RX and LiPo batteries

Does anyone know if you can run LiPo batteries on a Futaba 603FF receiver? Does Futaba make a LiPo safe reciever?

still unsure, manual says that its good for 6v
I have tried using the 6.5v bec output setting with my mmpro, thats as comfortable as I have gotten with it
so you are saying that I can run 7.4v, and if so for how long a period of time was it running on it for

I would love to go unregulated lipo with some hv servos if the fasst recievers are good for it if not I'll just stick with nimh

don't run futaba full voltage lipo.

Some have had it work
Some have had issues

the manual and any "futaba rep/driver" will tell you not to

or if you do,
when your electronics fry and cause a runaway that totals your car you will wonder how it was worth it
