No problem. Even having done something for quite some time, there is always something new to learn! Somebody always has a different way to do what you are trying to do!

I don't want to post on the same thing so I'll ask you guys in here. I'm switching to a 3s lipo pack in the next week or so. I have one BEC set at 7.4v going to my steering servo. You guys are saying we should have a BEC to run 6v to are receiver, right? If I run a BEC to my receiver I can still run my 7.4v BEC to my steering servo, right? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for any help..

That depends on the servo. Some can handle a 7.4V input but others can only handle 6.0V. Which servo?

I have a HSR-5990TG servo. The 7.4v BEC I have is wired to my 5990TG. Now that I have had 7.4v going to my steering servo I don't want to lower the volts. Should I be good with one 7.4v BEC going to my 5990TG and one 6.0v BEC going to my receiver? The 6.0v BEC to the receiver will keep the load from my dig servo off my FXR, right. Am I on the right track with my thinking here? Thanks for the help!

The maximum recommended input voltage for that servo is 6.0V-7.4V. Sure, you can run it at higher, but you'll increase your chances of frying the board. I killed a 7995TG at 6.5V....literally, flames coming out of the back of the servo.

I would contact the manufacturer and explain to them what you are using the servo for and they'll tell you what voltage you should run it at.

Ok, I'll do that. Thanks!
