| Help Voltage Regulator
I am building a Clod CXT with the old Tekin Titan, 2 Hitec 5645 servos, 2 65 turn Integy motors and 2 6 cell packs. Do I need a Voltage Regulator? My next build will be a Bronco 2.2 with Tekin Rebel, Integy 55 turn, Hitec 5645, Hitec 645, and 1 6 cell pack. Do I need a Voltage Regulator for this one?

I would recommend a regulator on any crawler if your serious about the steering. I have used the MPI adjustable and their non adjustable both and would not go back to running without! I also plan on getting a Castle Creations one to try soon.

The Castle is smaller, less expensive, and does not drop amps when you add more cells to your rig. The MPI works good but the more voltage you throw at it the more the amps drop. I will be getting the castle one as soon as everyone gets back from the nats!
