Default More Power For My 1/4 Servos

Will a 5 cell 6V receiver pack give me more power for my 1/4 scale servos then 4 AA battery box. I was told that a 6v receiver pack means more power for heavy-duty steering servos and faster servo respones times for any vehicle. For one I like that you can recharge the 6v pack and do away with the alkaline batteries. Just looking for more power for my 1/4 scale servos. Hoping to increase my capacity and speed servo response...Any info would be great.

yes 6v (5 cell pack) will give you more power than 4.8v (4 cell pack)

Actually, four alkaline AA batteries put out the same voltage at 5 NMIH/NCID cells.

really?Because when I ran 4 AA's on my T-maxx,then ran a 5 cell pack,I can tell the difference in reaction time..it also says on the box "@4.8 volts,and @6.0 volts"...I could be wrong

Well, most of the time, you will see a difference because a fully charged 5 cell receiver pack will put out slightly more than 6 volts.

just wire up a novak servo regulator and run a stick pack... it provides a constant 6v of power... I actually snapped my steering off at our colorado comp this weekend with my 805BB (383 oz).... kersnap

So, how exactly do you wire up a servo battery? Do you just run the white signal wire to the reciever and run the pos.&neg. to the battery through a switch?

do a search on novak servo regulator and there are wiring diagrams... the regulator and the receiver must share a common ground. i wouldnt just hook up a battery straight to the servo... magic smoke may apeare

Hey , hook up those there wires A
