Futaba rx
Futaba website states it’s 7.4v input capable. If I use a 2s lipo for the receiver it will see 8.4v to 8.7 with a HV pack. I seen were I seen some things that says you need a regulator. Can I run the lipo to just the switch in my nitro car. Or do I need a regulator? I’m assuming that I must use servos that are 7.4capable. Or do they need a regulator?

PS receives use to be 4v-6v and 7.2(8.4) Was considered high voltage. Before the "new" hv (8.7)

I asked the same question about 6 months ago when setting my first nitro buggy. I run Sanwa but the answer should be the same. The rated voltage is nominal, so the 7.4v is meaning a 2s lipo which charges to 8.4v.
I run HV servos which can handle the voltage direct from the battery. You need to consider that too as the rx will be putting the same voltage as its getting.

Ah yes thanks that’s what I was wondering wasn’t sure if there was some for of step down or not. Ok so I’ll go ahead and get another Savox 2290 for Throttle just to keep them the same. I like Symmetry
