Voltage Regulator

[JOddino]

I hadn't read Troy's response when I suggested the 5.1 volts.  I had heard
JR servos buzzed a lot on 6 volts.
I'm curious why you are buying two Li-Ion packs and one regulator.  If you
are going to carry both packs you ought to use two switch harnesses and two
regulators for complete redundancy.  If one pack is a spare forget what I
said.
