The voltage regulators in R/C heli put out ~6A max and they need good sized heatsinks (Like the Arizona Regs.) to do that. The max current spike a heli draws with 8 super digital servos working REALLY hard is about 8A.

A stockmotor can pull~20A and spike to 80A in a crash. A mod can pull 45A during a normal race and spike to 125A or more. A voltage regulator to handle
than load would be HUGE.

...and these regultors would need chips to control the precise level of voltage regualtion. This adds cost and complexity.

They would need to be calibrated..guys would swear some regultators would put out more power then others....if you can cailbrate one then you can cheat and modify them...more problems...

Like I said, this has been THOUROUGHLY researched and is a no go.
