Danny,

I am wondering if you can use 6.0v on jr servos instead of 4.8 volts. I am building a Sig Mayhem 3d and need a high torque servo on the elevator and rudder. I have a 1200 milliamp 6.0 volt battery that I was going to use but I am not sure about the servos. I know with hitec it tells you what rate/torque is for 4.8 and 6.0 volts on each servo. If you can use a 6.0 volt what would the difference in the torque be.

about 12-20 % difference

There are only a couple JR servos that are 4.8 only and they specifically state so on the package, they are a couple of the mini servos. The rest can use either 4.8 or 6 V. I usually note a 10-15% increase in torque and speed on 6V vs 4.8V.

If 6.0V battery is used, is it plugged into the receiver the same way as the 4.8V battery? Or is the JR receiver not capable of taking this voltage?

Thanks

Yes, they plug in the same.
