HV servos
May have read somewhere that combining HV servoes and "ordinary" servos from the same power-source would be a really bad idea....
From what I can find most High-Volt servoes operate fine on anything between 5-7.2 V, so maybe I`m wrong? I`m aware the speed and power will be lower when volts go down,but that really don`t matter.
I`m running powerbox regulated 5.8 V on a mix of analog, digital and HV servos. What I want to know, is there a risk doing that?

RE: HV servos
Hi, you can run HV servos with the others but they will be slower and have less torque than if they were running at 7.4 volts. Most HV servos have their spec written up for both 6 and 7.4 volts so you could tell what performance you'd lose by running them at 6 volts.
Cant see the point as you'd be losing the real benefit of the HV servo.

RE: HV servos
No risk, you will probably get longer servo life as the lower voltage will work the motor less.
Speed and power is still good with most HV servos run on lower voltages.

RE: HV servos
The point being the fact that not all my servos are of the high-volt type. I have a pair of HV`s I wanted to use for major functions (aileron) and I am relieved to learn there should be no danger/risk in doing so.
Thank You all
Thank You all

Sounds fine!
Planning to put them to use on the DerJet Cougar.
