I have an older HITEC 555 4-channel receiver that I am thinking of using. The question I have is how much current can each channel handle? This project will be using one high-torque HS645 servo that draws 350 mA while in motion with no load, while the standard servo draws about 150-170 mA in the same condition.

Can the Micro 555 handle this much current? I also have an older Supreme 8 that I could use although it doesn't fit quite as nicely into the nose compartment of the plane.

It can handle any high torque servo in all channels with no problems.

Mike.

Thanks! I have to run all four ailerons in a sport-scale biplane from a single servo by pull-pull because the wing airfoil is very thin and the nose compartment is too small to put in two standard servos plus the other stuff that needs to go in there.

The Micro 555 will fit very nicely next to the battery and switch right up in the nose!
