Fully charged it's 8.4^^^ you wanted 7.4v for the servos???
There is a new generation of high-torque and high-speed servos rated to work at 8,4v... and receivers too.Fully charged it's 8.4
Yeah those are great, incredibly fast with mounds of torque now-a-days. If I was still racing nitro, I'd probably have a few of those in my box! I was referring to older models of Savox and JR servos only rated for 6v, I used to run a 2s (fully charged obviously 8.4v) into an external BEC set around the 7v range to give them a bit more oomph.. They didn't like the extra volt (life wise) but I enjoyed the extra speed.There is a new generation of high-torque and high-speed servos reted to work at 8,4v... and receivers too.
I'm using an amazing chinese servo, plenty of torque and very fast, working at 8,4v as my futaba-clone receiver.
You can even use LiFe packs with a fully charged voltage of 7,2v
They even have 12v servos. Wires direct to a 12v source. Only the Signal lead plugs into the Rx. (+/- gets Jumpered)There is a new generation of high-torque and high-speed servos rated to work at 8,4v... and receivers too.

12v servos? Never saw one, amazing!They even have 12v servos. Wires direct to a 12v source. Only the Signal lead plugs into the Rx. (+/- gets Jumpered)
Crawlers do this.
I just watched a great video of a guy testing 10 servos and futaba was the only one that came close to true lbs of torx.reefs savox all of them were way under par like the reef says it pulls 442 at 8.4 V it actually pulled like 350 lbs instead of stated 442.im only 2 years into hobbie and it blew me away.Just like i don't understand RTR.soon as you get an RTR you have to start upgading servos or like me im a crawler fan so its always have to change shocks ,servos,steering geo.I thought when you bought a RTR they were doing the work for you not really.but im learning.^^^ I respect that.
I love Futaba servos. Among the best IMHO. Just that I feel they are too expensive for my wallet these days and for bashing my rigs not practical. I don't race anymore. I was a hardcore Futaba "everything" fanboy myself.
I agree. But some newer servos are power hogs and just inefficient and draw more current than specs elude to. Some just wreak havoc on the BEC.
This is not common. Not the norm. But it can happen. Been there.
Look at the Spektrum RTR servos of recent. They get temperamental and draw too much current, they overheat and overload/ruin the ESC's BEC and many lose Rx/Tx signal in the process. Not to say a GB is the answer at all, but this scenario can ruin an otherwise good ESC's BEC circuit and lose control of your rig. Carnage results.
If you overextend and bind up your ST endpoints, that is also one way to overload your BEC and brick the servo in the process.
Hi SrC, I had serious gliching using a Hobbywing Quicrun Brishless 60 ESC, when attempting to wire the sevo direct to 2s lipo to get 8.4v for the servo. I tried various online ways of doing this, but all resulted in glitching - sometimes manic. I wired in a UBEC as per instructions but still have serious glitching.
After buying the ESC, which had good reviews, I found it only outputs a pathetic max 6V 2A. My servo is 35kg but ran fine when running off the ESC BEC @6v.
Advice please?
