Default RE: Can Futaba R149DP handle 5 5955 servo or do i need a Powerbox?


ORIGINAL: RC330LXFlya

Im confused, if the 3-pin connectors are marginal for one servo, how am i running half my 35% plane off one (from the battery)?

That's what I tried to point out earlier

The thing is if you take 2 low imdenacee NiMh packs they can handle up to 40 amps and only weigh 6 oz. more than a lipo / power expander setup.. with a lot less points of failure.

This is why I dont see the point of a power expander.... it looks like one central point of failure to me with a lot of unneccessary things added, all to make things look neat
