Default Hitec 7950

What volts do you guys run the 7950 servo at. They are rate for 7.4 so I am thinking at least that.

I was conservative. I set mine to 7.2v. Plenty of juice for it IMO.

Mine is still set at 6.0v from the last servo that was in my Bully. I've since got the 7950 and believe me, it's PLENTY of power at just 6.0v. but when I get around to it I might bump it up just to see if I notice any difference.
The setting of 7.2 isn't needed (if it's a safety thing) it can totally handle the 7.4v, but thats a lot of torque passed onto other components. Heck I might just hit the 7.0 mark and call it good.

I run mine at 7volts in my bully it does just fine, I ran it at 7.4 to try it and didn't see much difference so to be on the safe side I'm running it at 7 for now

they claim it is designed to run on a 2s lipo, which puts out around 8.4v fully charged, so I am pretty sure you would be just fine running at 7.4 volts.

got it at 7.4 and it seems to be running a little warm. Think I'll turn it down a bit and see if it makes a difference.
