[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba Servo Question

[Ed Alt]

Although you can certainly run any of the HV servos at 5.8V, I'm puzzled as to why you would want to.  You're giving up significant speed and torque, which you paid a premium price to have.  Just use a regulator that gets you up into the intended voltage range for a 2S LiPo.

Yes.  I've been doing it for several years.

Can I use 5.8v regulated voltage from a 7.4v lipo for futaba servos considered HV rated at 6vdc to 7.4vdc+?

Couple more contests left in the season, but basically 2 more weeks and it's time.  Let the preparations begin....
