Ergo 46 electronics setup??
Hey guys. I've been flying electric for a year and a half now and a buddy gave me an ergo .46 ccpm. I am about ready to fly this sucker and all I lack is a reciever pack. Should I get a typical 4.8 volt pack or a 6 volt? Do i need a regulator? It is using 3) JR DS811 servos on the cyclic, GY401 w/ S9254 and a Spektrum AR6200 reciever (i forget what throttle servo but it is JR also). All servos and the gy401 are rated up to 6v... If I use a 6 volt pack shouldn't the current draw be less therefore my reciever pack would last longer? Also, anyone have a charger reccomendation for reciever batteries? All I have are LiPo balance chargers... Thanks!

i use 6 volt packs with a reg on the gyro the servos can take the 6v not the gyro. i have not used a lipo on anything flying as a power source as of yet i know there are some that do but there are just to many things you have to place in line to control the voltage that could go on the blink and heli's have enough that can go wrong for me to justify the change over my 6v packs are 4200 ma packs i never fly with a 1000 ma there is just toooo much draw on them and you have to charge the 1000 packs each flight especially if you are using spectrum gear and digital servos. even with a 6v pack i recharge it after 2 hard flights or 3 easy flights .
