Default RE: Servo question

ORIGINAL: motor12

I am going to be using 12 servos in total (9 futaba S3305 and 2- S9001 and one tail wheel retract servo) my question is can i run this many servos on the same battery LIPO(2600 mah 2S) with a step down voltage reg. along with my receiver. Please feel free to make suggestions. Thanks
Personally those servos are too slow for my liking, I'd bite the bullet and run hs5625s, same torque but much faster, but everyone is different

I'd set it up for that many servos and a Futaba RX this way,, (RX assumption made since you're running all futaba servos)

2-A123 2300mah packs,, 6.6 volts safe for most servos, plenty of C rate, plenty of Mah
PowereExpander Pro,, for battery share and to step down RX voltage
Pin switch option,, so simple
IBEC,, to eliminate 3rd pack & switch

Then I'd make some sort of hatch for battery connections and field charging

good luck
