So after picking up a losi 8ight 2.0 and doing a few runs with it; I come to realize that obviously these Spektrum Z590 servos are meant to be either a mediocre throttle servo, or a back up servo.
I'm currently looking at Savox 1268SG servos that can run up to 7.4 volts making very impressive figures.
My question lies in the receiver, You need a LiPo battery between 4.4-7.4 volts obviously, but what kind of receiver do you need to run such voltage? I'm currently using a SR3000 with DX3.0, Spektrum says the voltage range is safe/usable 3.7-9.7 volts, so I assume my receiver is capable of handling 7.4 volts. But, will this more voltage cause more heat on such a small component, to the point of this spectrum receiver turning sketchrum? Anyone here in the past run a SR3000 on with high voltage LiPo's?
With that question covered, here's a dumb one, Assume I run 7.4 volts through my receiver and new steering servo, can you have a non high voltage servo (spektrum z590) and still utilize such components, or will the 590 blow smoke?
Thanks, ill be scouting the for sale threads for new electronics, unless I counted wrong it I may have some "free" money.
Is there a receiever you guys prefer? Perhaps a better steering servo for around 50-70 dollars, used or new.
Thanks all!
