JR rx's only rated at 6 volts?

Are you still running 72MHz?

I can't help you with them as I converted to JR when I went to the 2.4GHz radios and those rx's will take the higher voltage. You need to list your equipment....

I said "JR receivers that I have" are only rated up to 6V. These are 72Mhz receivers, R955s for example.Iwouldlike to know, whatis the most economical way to separete receiver voltage from servo voltage?

Thanks,

Well if by "economical" you mean cheap, you're out of luck.

Some PE's will pass through supply voltage to the servos while regulating it to the rx, you could look at those.

Thank you for the replayZeeb, I think rather then spending money on PE I will start saving for 2.4.

Well I'm certainly happy with my decision to switch to the 2.4GHz radio system.

If you're wanting to run unregulated Li-Po's I know the Spektrum/JR stuff can handle those voltages. I'm not sure what the amperage specs are for the 7 channel and below rx's and that's not usually too much of an issue with models which would run 7 channel rx's, but all the 9 channel and above rx's from Spektrum/JR can handle 35 amps continous and burst to 50 amps on the electrical buss of the rx. Bax has stated over on the Futaba support forum that the FASST rx's are only good to 8 amps. So depending on what you want to run, it might behoove you to look at the specs on the various 2.4GHz offerings as I've not looked at anything other than those two systems.

I'm glad to hear that, I'm a JR guy when it comes to TX.

This is the item I've found on Servo City web site. It looks like would do the trick, but I have not tried it yet.

All 72 receivers have a regulator already. It would be a shame if the JR receiver wont handle 7.2 V.
