Spektrum DX7 / AR6100 Receiver
Can anyone school me on using the new Spektrum AR6100 Rec. with a 2100mah lipo 11.1V pack. I'm planning to put this into a Mini Pulse XT and my concern is that the receiver will not handle the voltage? If not/ what are my options here?

RE: Spektrum DX7 / AR6100 Receiver
The voltage range for the AR6100 is 3.5V - 9V.
If you are using an electronic speed controller (ESC), the battery eliminator circuit (BEC) in the ESC will provide the correct power to the receiver. See the connection diagram below.
Alternatively, you can use a separate receiver battery of the correct voltage or stay with one battery but use a standalone BEC.

Thanks! In the back of my mind I thought that might be the case with the ESC acting as gatekeeper. Next bumb question. Do all ESC's detect the Voltage limits of a particular receiver?

The BEC in all ESCs provides either 5V or 6V for the receiver and servos. Either one is a safe voltage for any receiver.
