I found the following product: [link=http://emcotec.e-vendo.de/e-vendo.php?shop=k_emcotec_e&SessionId=&url=http://emcotec.e-vendo.de/e-vendo.php%3Fshop%3Dk_emcotec_e%26SessionId%3D%26a% 3Darticle%26ProdNr%3DA18017%26t%3D6%26c%3D67%26p%3 D67]SERVO-PULSE-BOOSTER (AMPLIFIER)[/link] from a company whose products I am often using. All was well until I wanted to check what is this product, and in product desciption I have read the following:

Afterwards, I have found another of their product [link=http://emcotec.e-vendo.de/e-vendo.php?shop=k_emcotec_e&SessionId=&url=http://emcotec.e-vendo.de/e-vendo.php%3Fshop%3Dk_emcotec_e%26SessionId%3D%26a% 3Darticle%26ProdNr%3DA18017%26t%3D6%26c%3D67%26p%3 D67]DPSI V-MATCH[/link], which says:

As I am using more 6014 FASST receivers, can someone shed some light this "Futaba 6014 weak servo pulse" issue? Should I be afraid of it?

Thanks.

Whereas many previous receivers offered a signal output of 3.0 Volts, the latest generation of IC’s has been designed to operate at lower voltages in order to increase their operational speeds. The R6014FS receiver utilizes such an IC and, as such, the nominal output voltage of the R6014FS receiver is 2.7 Volts.



I Have a 50cc 260 with two sevos per wing and thay are Y'ed together wing on chanel 1 works fine but on chanel 6 will only work if one sevo is unpluged . I used a amplifier on that one Y and all works now.

How lower voltage will increase operational speed? Speed of servo? What else should I be afraid of?

Not sure about how lower voltage will increase speed.... but no major things to worry about. Just don't wrap your receiver in foam when mounting it will cause some 6014's to retain heat wich in some reported cases seems to cause the receiver to loose its bind for a while. Some but not all.I have 4 of these receivers and not a single one has ever given me any types of problems relating to heat.
Another point on the impulse signal voltage......there are some servos out there that won't work correctly with this receiver, these are only non- Futaba branded servos..which is to bad as Futaba servos are not many peoples first choise for servos.
If you are worried and want to be sure that your servos are getting all the impulse voltage you need the get a PowerBox or a SmartFly system to run the servos and then you will have no concernes. I use PowerBox brand and have never had any issues. But I will try SmartFly in the near future as the cost of their systems Are a whole lot less than PowerBox and in this day and age I need to save my penny's because that is all I make at my job anymore.

The "faster speed" is a faster processor in the receiver. It has nothing to do with servo speed.

There is no reason to fear use of the receiver. If your servo works with it, then you are OK. All current-production Futaba servos will work just fine with the R6014FS receiver. Some non-Futaba servos may not work with it.
