Hello I am after some information on Futaba receivers & HV servos first of I can't see ay specifications for range on the followinfg receivers

Fasst R7008SB, 6208SB
Fhss R2008SB. R2006GF.R2006GS
Please can you advise which of these are full range. My second query is regarding Hv servos & RX's in the specs for these units the voltage is quoted as 7.4v but a fully charged 2 cell LI-PO battery is 8.4v will they be ok with this or will this damage them?? Thanks Dave

All of the receivers listed are full range.

The High Voltage receivers will be able to handle your 2 cell lipo with no problem.

Hi Krysta, I am not quite clear on this point. If the R6208 is supplied by a 8.4v 2s lipo I understand the RX has no issues and is rated for this, but what will be the voltage supplied to the servos connected to any of the 6208 servo ports? And is the what is the voltage supplied to the sbus port and connected sbus devices?

I think I know the answer, but would like to verify. Thanks,

Bax, Krysta, if you can confirm the R6208SB appears to have a single power domain? Meaning the supplied voltage is what is "delivered" to all servos without level shifters or any type of voltage regulation. That seems to be what I measure.

The battery voltage delivered to the receiver is passed straight through to the servos. There is only a battery bus for the power leads.
