Servo harness

[racetruck]

Does any one use the outlaw direct power servo harness it takes the battery power direct to the servos and not through the receiver?

i use them. im not sure if it helps or not. some radio recievers have a BEC that limits the volts to 4v. the splitter as you know allows for 6v power. im not sure how you can tell if your reciever limits the volts. someone told me that most of the newer recievers all put out the 6v, but it went in one ear, and out the other.

I tried powering the servos direct and didn't notice much difference.

the airtronics 2.4 i have does not regulate. if you run a dual servo setup i would say it is a must if not not really but if something goes wrong with your servo that normally takes up to 4.5A then you might destroy your receiver too. the regulators in receivers usually give up to 5A so a bit limiting i guess.

I run my servos directly off the battery. I sent me signal wires to the RX and added a splitter to send battery voltage to the servos. I have the fhss 2 and cant say I noticed a difference but I can be sure I wont have any power losses now or in the future. Who knows how much resistance is in a receiver BEC anyway. And yes I have tested receiver wires while cycling on the charger and they do melt at 5amps!
