Servo voltage.
Futaba tech support,
Please can you conferm futaba servos, S9252, S9255, S9550, S9551, Can run on a regulated power supply at 5.9volts, Ie, Duralite Powerbox Gemini system, lower 5.3volts for gyro system,
This is for heli and Jet use---
And secondly Do servos work harder or better on the above system ???
Thanking you for your help and support,
Sonic.

RE: Servo voltage.
The S9252, S9255 are not recommended by Futaba for 6 V operation. However, it must be said that we're talking about a 5-cell NiCd or NiMH battery pack. They can hit as high as 7.5 V or so when fully-charged. A 4-cell pack will peak at 6 V. Probably something around 5.0-5.5 V would be OK for those servos.
The S9550 is OK for 5-cell operation.
The S9551 is new and we don't have specs for it, yet.
If you run higher voltages, the servos will draw more current, and likely have a higher rate of wear in the motor and drive transistors.
