Hitec HS-5995 robotics servo, Help!
I'm looking at the specs for the HS-5995 and its rated at 416oz of torque at 7.4 volts, but how do you supply it with that voltage without cooking your receiver? Any help? I can't seem to find any info on the net on this yet.

That rating is for use in robots only. Hitec strongly recommends a maximum of 6V (5 cells) for use in aircraft.

Thanks, I got it straightened out with Hitec, I found out their receivers are equipped with BEC, and can also handle more voltage. But since I don't want the receiver to limit the voltage to the servo, I'm going to have to recommend to the customer that they do some fancy footwork with a y connector, and run the signal wire straight from the servo to the receiver. letting the servo and the receiver share a common ground through the battery connection.
