Default JetCat V10 ECU Rx voltage question

As I'm not getting a response from JetCat in the Direct Support Forum, I'm re-posting here hoping for better luck.

I did some searching in the JectCat V10 ECU manual and on the forums but couldn't find a definitive answer.

Can I run the V10 ECU in a high voltage Rx/servo setup, i.e. running 7.4V nominal from a 2S Lipo from the Rx into the Throttle/Aux inputs on the ECU? I would expect I can but want to make sure.

Specifically note that my question is *not* about the ECU power itself (running the 3S LiFePo as supplied by Jetcat there).

Thanks,

Hans.

Yes, no problem using HV setup on the Rx (so up to 8.4v control) on a V10 ECU

Dave , how about the Jectcat V5.0 ECU ?, I am planing to feed the receiver & servo with 2S (7.4) for my PHT3 (HP5) , running 7.4V nominal from a 2S Lipo from the Rx into the Throttle/Aux inputs on the V5.0 ECU.
Thanks
George

Yes, every ECU from a V 4.9 is suitable for HV operation on Rx
