So my cousin from Texas is sending me a Lipo battery pack for my reciever as a late birthday present!! My question is, I have non high voltage hitec servos, how long would they last on lipos??

 

[Guest]

I would also like to hear. I have only read they can handle it. I have yet to hear of them burning up because of the 7.4v.

where did you read that?? the guy from the hobby shop said that i need to replace both of my servos to high voltage!! maybe hes just trying to get me to buy them!! lol

iv read in several diff forums that 6v servos can handle 7.4v

Multiple forums with threads reguarding the new Killer RC receiver lipos. Even Kent (Killer RC owner) posted its been done but was not sure how long the 6v servos will last.

Once I'm caught up on my builds, I plan to try 7.4v on the 5645, 5755 and the stock Redcat steering servos. Hehehe. I just want to see for myself.

7.4v lipos make nice receiver packs. The huge killerRC 7200mah pack is lighter than the regular hump packs.

Do you know which battery you are getting?

I've read they can handle the high voltage, as well.

Im getting the killerRC 6000mah pack!

 

[Deluge]

That should be more than enough! I'm happy with 4200mAh!

I'm just using a 800mah, 2S, 20C pack. Nice and small.

 

[Deluge]

That's a small pack. Just for the servos?
