Increase battery voltage?

Hi guys,


I understand the stock battery in 1/5 redcats is a 6V. I noticed that a lot of servos have a specific torque rating for 6V and a significantly larger one (usually +25%) for 7.4V. So, the obvious question is: has anyone upgraded their redcat to 7.4V? Does the Rx support it? How about the stock servos? Anything else I'm missing?

Yes, but what other electronics on the redcat must be upgraded? I'm guessing not all stock electronics will appreciate the higher voltage.

P.S. I was looking at NiMh 7.4V, I'm not a big fan of the "might-blow-up-on-you" character of the LiPo.

afaik cell phones use Lithium-Ion. The iPhone certainly does. But we're diverging :)
