"HV Servos Connected to 5 Volt Receiver"
Question, If you're using 7.4V servos with a 5V receiver, do or can you bypass said receiver and power the servos directly from the battery, while of course powering the receiver through a voltage regulator. If anyone can help it would be appropriated. Don.

RE: RE:
Hey Andy, I'm using a Walkera RX1202 receiver that according to the maker is 5V max. I just wish I could remember better what I read 12 to 14 year ago about this very subject. I believe it was about using 1/4 scale servos that would need more amps. than could be drawn through a receiver. My problem is being worried about pushing to much voltage through the receiver.

RE: RE:
You can not mix voltages with the equipment we use -
basically- you apply a voltage to the buss on a rx -
the rx uses this voltage to operate and provide signals to the servos
The current needed to run the servos does NOT go through the rx.
In your question - the HV servos will be running at a maximum of what you apply to the rx
.
Can you bypass the rx and run the servos at the high voltage ?
NO- not using the equipment you have or can buy for our use. The amperage - is a different matter and the high amperage will not harm the rx simply because servo demand does not pull power through the rx - just along the buss.
