Default RE: 4.8 or 6.0 volts?


ORIGINAL: vasek

I have been using 4.8V but since switching to Spektrum I am on 6V now.

When the servos can't take 6V I use a 5 cell combined with a regulator. This way I'm sure my Rx & servos are getting a steady 5.2V.

Oh I forgot to say that the big problem is that you get no paper work with the RX and TX.
But mst solid state devices today will tolorate 15% of the rated operating voltages
On my older trainer I been running 12 @ 2 amps on the TX that takes a 9.6 volt battery and it's been more then a year now and no ptoblems.
My 2 meter ham radio HT takes a 9.6 volt battery but I still plug it in the cigarette lighter and it's running off 14.2 volts when driving
Just my 2 cents.
Ops Make that 1 cent
Gas here went down to $2.47
