Digital Servo - How much more power?
I am installing four digital servos HS-6635HB (Hitech) and one HS-322HD (Hitech) on my 7 channel receiver R770S (JR).
Do you think the receiver can handle the current with no glitches?
How can I determine the maximum capacity of my receivers, and when shall I choose to go for a seperate power supply?
Also, would a 4.8V Ni-Cd 1100mAh battery give me acceptable flying time with these servos?
I am trying to learn a bit about all these power issues and different brand mixing and conversions
Thanks for your patience...

G'day Fadi,
Digital servos don't always have more power than an analogue servo, but the have tremendous holding power, once deflected they stay where they are, until you move the stick.
Great for rudders, in knife edge flight.

Allan, you are always a great resource here 
This is exactly what will suite my purpose then, I am assembling a 3D plane :P
I was only afraid the serovs draw lots of currents and drop the voltage level available for the Rx to operate properly...
That's why I was thinking of a seperate power supply.
For the battery, I will try and get a higher mAh rating, you are right, it is always safer So Ni-Mh is better than Ni-Cd?
