ORIGINAL: Stick 40

I was using the 6V packs 20 years ago with reg. futaba servos and never had a problem.

Is there some thing new going on with servos? I am useing the new 2.4 tx and have seen a lot of talk about using the 6V packs with that system being a good idea. I just went and looked at my new Hitec servos (hs-425bb) and they do say they work with 6V. I learn something every day!!!!!

folowing that line if he goes with the 6V packs does he need to get another charger or is the wall charger that comes with the radio good enough????????
i'd say nearly all servos work with 6V and nearly all receivers also work with 6V but I just said that to just take that extra step and be certain before you connect it.

Depends on the voltage the wallwart charger is putting out. Some have an auto detect feature and will provide the right amount of voltage.
