Most servos are only rated for 6 volts. You can run them off 7.4 but it probably wont last long. The new jr servos are rated for a 2c lipo. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...dID=JRPS8711HV |

that .2 volt may be enough to smoke the servo.the motor will hang but the ic chips might not.

that's what the BEC does and is programable to 6.0 volts, so why risk frying your servo................bob .... |
