I only use A-123 for the receiver power...6.6V I don't like regulators so what are you using for your servos?

Question: How do you know if a servo is rated for 4.8V or 6.0V ??? Just because they show the Torque for 6v input for a particular Servo does not mean it is rated for 6v use...So how do we know? I find that very misleading.
if you aren't sure you take a digital volt meter read the resistance across the red and black wire that will give you R (resistance) then you divide the A (amps ) by R to get E(voltage) remember any voltage that is in excess of the rated voltage turns to heat energy can never be destroyed , it goes from one form to another
