My Feedback: (2)

I have this same issue and tried both a Spektrum DX18 with 2 different receivers, and also a FrSKY Horus X12 with an X8 receiver... its not a radio issue, its the servos. The servos in mine (pnp) are apparently not HV (yes they say HV) . These might have been hv at some point during the production cycle but im guessing something changed ... I could be wrong?, but I tried a 2 cell lipo and then also a 2 cell life pack. It locked up often on 2 cell lipo, it did not lock up as much on 2 cell life but it still does. On a voltage regulator at less then 6 volts the servos operate normally, but how much torque do they have now, dont know?? Thanks to my rep for helping me with this. I intend to go hv servos, just figuring out what to do next since i dont want to use regulators (thats a different story). just a heads up for those that encounter this...

just my experience, your mileage may vary...

And BTW ... The extension i posted a while back with the heat shrink wrap on it is indeed a voltage regulator but no mention of where they wanted it to be used. Maybe to knock down the voltage for the whole system to counter the issue mentioned above? When I plugged in a 2 cell lipo that started at 7.7 volts into it, it knocked it down to 6.66 volts which is the same voltage my life pack was running.
