[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba Servo Question

[Ed Alt]

Good point. There's a solution for that which doesn't require a separate regulator assembly.

The only reason I can think of would be when you have some servos that are NOT HV and some that are in the plane.  But you'd be better off in that case doing what the heli guys did with tail Gyros that couldn't handle HV, regulate the specific channel voltage down between the RX and the servo instead of regulating the whole system between the battery and the RX.

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....
