I do not. I run nitro, with two servos.
I know I run the same runtime, because 1/8 buggy finals are always timed.
I had bought two Savox to replace my Futaba 9351's.
My charger indicates mah charged to my Life pack. I use the same Life pack, always. The only thing powered off my receiver pack is servos, transponder, receiver. Transponder and receiver will always consume the same, so they are irrelevant.
When running the Savox servos, I would need a charge of approx 850mah, when running Futaba I need only approx 300-350mah.
So you see, it is not guesswork but clear numbers.
I do not care really if you believe it or not, but the numbers don't lie, the Savox servos CLEARLY consume approx 2.5x the ammount of power.
I didn't assume anything, just simply responding to a post that has borderline useless information. You didn't say anything about them being run at the same track, just time. Maybe you car spent more time upside down with the Futaba, and therefore used less energy. We don't know because there is no supporting data, just a claim. No Savox model is listed either. Again, how is anyone supposed to believe anything with no data to back it up? It's entirely possible that A Futaba Servo with the same specs as a Savox can draw less current. However, without seeing real data, it's just hearesay.
