| Bumpn the servo voltage
Ok I have a cheapo servo on the rear of my superclass that can only supposedly handle 6volts but the front is one of those turnigy ones that can handle 12volts. How can I bump up the voltage on the front one while leaving the back at 6volts? My bec only supplies 5 or 6volts I think right now, I would rather not have to buy another bec.

You can run your front servo directly to the BEC at any volts, only plug the signal wire into the RX. Then take your rear servo and plug it straight into the RX for power/ground/signal. That's the easy fix. |

OP, unless you can dial up the BEC output, you are sorta SOL unless you buy a BEC that can be adjusted up in output voltage. | |

You left out a key piece of info. What battery voltage is the rig running? If you are running a 12v or less battery you can wire the front servo direct to the battery to get max power. you can then use the bec you already have for the rest of the electronics, being sure to isolate the servo positive lead from the receiver. |
