Two part question, Please answer both.

Bax, In this post- http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11511276/tm.htm I asked the question Can the R617FS handle all 10 servos?

Your reply was: As long as you don't exceed 8 Amps at peak and 3 Amps continuous, you'll be OK.

Now in this : http://www.futaba-rc.com/faq/faq-receivers-q962.html, regarding large number of servos, Futaba said this: On all Futaba receivers the amp draw will be 8 amps continuous and 10 amps peak.
Which is correct? Regarding multiple servos, I also found this: FAQ

I am wondering about the amp draw on my receiver. I am using eight S9351's, three S9352's and one S9252's, each in its separate channel. What effect will these have on my receiver and can it handle the load?

The receiver will not have a problem with the number or type of servos used. A large number of servos, such as the number that you are using, could cause the battery voltage to drop below what the receiver requires. You would want to make sure that your servo and battery wiring could handle the current needed from the servos without giving you much voltage drop. Many times this is why NiCd batteries are preferred, as they can deliver more current with less voltage drop than many other battery types.

While it doesn't say which" rx he had, assuming as it was stated in the FAQ (On all Futaba receivers the amp draw will be 8 amps continuous and 10 amps peak.) he then can run 12 digital servos without worry, given strong enough Rx battery pack (Like the one listed below) Correct? I am seeing way to many contradictions here.


This was the batt pack that was in previous post I made, there was no mention made that is was/ was not sufficient!

A123 Systems 26650 Nano M1 Pack
Pack Voltage: 6.6v 2300ma
Rating: 30C (69.0A) Continuous

Regading dual power feeds to Rx.

Also, in checking with others, they suggested running dual feeds into Rx, either an additional pack or secondary feed from battery, both used on a Y-harness for the highest drain servo/'s. Possible? If not WHY? Spectrum can do it. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...2&postcount=20 or this: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...81&postcount=2

Thanks.
