Servo Amps / Low voltage
I have a Great Plains Giant Big Stik with a gas engine. It has 4 digital servos in the wing I rudder,1 elevator, and 1 analog throttle servo. My Hitec Aurora 9 gives intermittent low voltage alarms with a fully charge battery. I'm powered with a LiFe battery and 7.5 BEC and have tried a 10amp BEC and still get the same results. I've also tried a 6v nmh battery directly to the receiver and same results. I also have a 30cc gas engine and a new CDI. HELP !

That's why I don't run digital servos thru the Rx. Too many amps, most Rx's are rated up to 8amp, six digital servos can (can being-possibly) pull up to 20-24 amp.
