RE: Is A Regulator Required for 6v Batteries
It's not the receiver, but the servos that can be voltage-limited. The receiver has its own internal voltage regulator. Futaba Servos that have only a 4.8V rating only need to have regulation below 6V, or a 4-cell NiCd battery pack. Futaba servos that have a 6V rating can deal with a 5-cell pack.
