Outcast Who runs stock servo on 8.4v?

[Lowblueranger]

I have an outcast 8s with a few runs on it. Seems like the servo needs a little more power, who is running the stock servo on the 8.4v setting? I tried it and it worked, but haven’t ran it a whole pack yet. Don’t want to burn out the servo just yet.

I don’t know what the servo specs are but the servo saver system has lots to be desired! Mine was set to 7.2 when I was programming it I left it there.

Why would you burn it out? Is rated on 8.4 also.

That’s what he wanted to hear. I didn’t know that either.

I've run mine on 8.4v from day one..!! and I totally agree that the servo saver is pretty weak.. ?

I’d say it’s less of a problem with the servo and more of a problem with the servo saver. What a stupid design.
