Anyone have any tips on servos? Any new servos that are especially good or bad?

How about high voltage servos? Traditionally servos run on 4.8 or 6V but many of the newer ones can run on higher voltages so you can use a 2 cell lipo without a voltage regulator.

As many current receivers can also run at this voltage it can simplify your set-up. If you don't need a BEC or a regulator, that is one more thing to leave out of the plane and one less thing to fail.

What tips do you have for the community? I always welcome updates from the members of RCU.
