| Voltage regulators!
I have three types of voltage regulators in stock, the MPI 6 volt, the MPI adjustable, and the Ubec switching BEC. These are a must have item for anybody using high voltage or strong servos. I run them on just about every vehicle and have chosen these three for cost effectiveness and power. http://holmeshobbies.com/home.php?cat=13 |

so they go inline from your servo to the reciever which means you would need 2 in a super ? hustler with dual mamba maxes and 5955 servos with hyperions havent decided on a battery set up yet. Last edited by rcjunky3; 07-03-2007 at 09:47 PM. |

| I run 1 reg from the batt to the reciever in my super. Powers my 1/4 scales no problem. I've been thinking of using 1 reg to each servo to get that little extra out of 'em though. I know where I'll order from now |

Got my UBEC yesterday. Very nice. Installed it and tested it around the garage. So far I am very impressed. I can't believe how quick the servo is and how much power it has. Thanks John |

Can the MPI units work with Lipo's also? I noticed that you just listed 6-7 Cells. The on the UBEC you just listed 2-3 Lipo's.

I would suggest you wait until the Castle reg comes out, or get the UBEC. You have to use a switching reg with 3 cell lipo to get any decent power. | ||

The UBEC is now labeled the Cool BEC. Same price, better construction. Castle regs coming soon...

John Rob, I'm not experiencing any problems currently but this is my set up; low voltage packs 6-7 cells, Hitec 5645, Mamba 25, brushless (TCS both motors). Nice but mild formula. But I have run Lipos in other racing scales and love the power and weight reduction. I plan on finishing out the season in my current formula. But over the winter I have some plans to turn up the burner which will include a voltage regulator. How far can I push the Mamba 25 if I add a JR 9000T or Hitec 5995, Lipos 11.1 v with those additions which voltage regulator would you suggest? Will I then need to add the Mamba Max? Will my Mamba 25 be a good back up or just part of my RC Museum? Thanx Stormin' |

The mamba 25 wont put out a whole lot of BEC power. With a 3 cell lipo you will have next to no amperage available. I would suggest the Cool BEC since it is switching. You can then use the mamba 25 with powerful servos to your hearts desire.
