They are the best looking servo out there
I'm guessing one of their components in the servo cannot handle direct lipo. I've come to believe that they use weak amps. They want me to purchase an ammeter and check if the servos are pulling to much current. One BIG problem, the servo will not behave the same on the bench as on the track. Hence there is no way of safely running the servos without a regulator.

LOL same here. I wonder if that's what they usually tell everyone.
