| RX and Servo voltage
I have a 4WS setup and I am looking for more power for my servos with out spending a butt load of $ on new servos. Servos have two voltages listed for torque output. The max voltage is 6.0 using a RX pack. I'm sure with just one servo that most of the voltage is going to the single servo but with a 4WS setup is the voltage split between the two and can I get more power by running more volts? Lets say a 9v battery, lighter and smaller than 4 "AA" but a whole volt and a half more to each servo.

The more voltage you get to your truck more wheel speed you may get And more torque you get from servo[s] The voltage is devide between the servo[s] and motor[s] |

Not if you wire them parallel. RX's split the current, not the voltage.

I'm using a TQ3 with a "Y" connecter for the steering servos and my third channel runs a micro servo for a rear dig. When I disconnect my rear servo the front one does turn alot better. | |

parallel rx to 2 servos = full voltage & half mah to each servo series rx to 2 servos = half voltage & full mah to each servo | |
