Grenade, do you usually leave the tekin switch turned on while running to
pull 300-400mah out?
I always run switch off, since in 17.5 or 13.5, you never get anywhere near the cutoff. I usually pull 50-70 mah out of the pack. That's out of the pack, but I would assume that you'd need to pull more current from the main pack to convert up to 6v, than you'd take out of 7.4v rx pack. I guess since I've been doing this since the dark days of 1200mah batteries, I tend to lean toward the conservative in the realm of power delivery. I've always been told by the fast crowd I run with that ANY current not available for the motor in a SPEC motor class is power wasted.
I have two full seasons on one RS PRO, one 9650 servo and one 7.4 rx pack. I know this isn't the recommended set-up as Tekin put up a thread about that, but I have yet to experience a single problem, (knock on wood).
