I think he means the Futuba R6014 recevier <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><u>
"Signal output voltage" </u></span>it is the only receiver that Futaba puts out that has a <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><u>
signal output voltage </u></span>at 2.7 volts. I have one make that two of them. Has nothing to do with the operating voltage of the servo as far as enough power to make the servo work. Just affects the servo if the signal voltage is tow low for the servos you use. Most servos out there that have been made in the last 3/4 years will work just fine. To check if it works.just hook up your servos to this receiver....if they work without any problems on the ground then they will work in the air as well. You can find this information at the Futaba support forum ..

The only reason why Iam considering a LiPo is because of some of the low voltage issues on 2.4 receivers that Ihave been reading about. My thought was to go with a 2-cell LiPo and regulate it down to ensure Ialways have enough voltage at the receiver (basis what Ihad read this was even more important with digital servos.)
Iactually have a 4.8V1100 NiMH pack that Iwas originally going to use. If the general consensus is that this will not cause any problems, then Iwill just use that.
The only way you have a low voltage concern(other than a for real discharged battery) is if you have Spekltrum/JR receivers from a year ago or more and have not sent them to Horizon for the firmware update. Read the Horizon bulletins and it is easy to see if you have updated firmware. Basically, with the transmitter and receiver powered, momentarily turn off your receiver and then turn it back on. If the lights in the receivers blink, you are good.
