Default RE: TBM 8711 vs 5955 servo test...

Slowly the sun comes up---
increased power from servos comes from increased power delivered to them --
some points to ponder .
The LiIon batts which supply power thru regulators are an assembly of bottlenecks
a resistive regulator gets hot - and will fail and will crash you -
solution - shi-t can the setup .
use cells which put out all the power YOUR servos ask for. They do exist.
Connectors we use, were designed for far , far lower loads than we now have available . (they heat at 4 amp loads ).
solution- parallel paths -at least until better connectors and busses become available
The easy setup would be for someone to make n market a small piggyback buss/signal bar which pushes onto existing RX buss - and has 8 amp flow type connectors . Yes I know about the power distributing units on the market.
wiring and the new bus would of course have to be a mating set. a simple setup.
A small mfg could do this -basically a battery to servo system which is double present setups.
anything under 33% has no need for this kind of a fix but 40+ % stuf could use it.
Ben thar-------
One more thing-- good switching regulators don't heat like the cheapos - The present BECs in ESC s -are behind the curve on the higher power motors using higher voltages- get an external BEC- Dimension Eng has some dandy ones .
