Default RE: Max voltage for a Hitec servo

You will run the risk of burning it up! That is a 33% increase over it's recommended operating voltage. Because the motor resistance remains constant the current drawn will mostly double. Not knowing the normal operating current makes it impossible to calculate. If you plane mean anything to you I wouldn't run the risk of having the servo fail!!!
