| Hitec Servo Max Voltage
On my 2.2 scaler, I decided to just use the Castle BEC to run some lights and the 3Racing winch excusively on 7.2V. I just added a servo splitter on the receiver side of the BEC to hook everything up. I figured that it wouldn't be too bad not to have the steering servo at 6V, but it is (been a while since I drive a crawler without a BEC). Has anyone ran a Hitec 645MG at 7.2V and had good results? I have read that it will hold it but just lower to life of the servo.

The 645 is only rated to 6v, so while you could run it at 7.2v it would burn up pretty quickly.

The 645's had issues burning up on 6V systems as a dig servo, I imagine it would be even worse on 7.2V.
