Like those $200 JR hi-volt servos?

I'm sure they are well worth it, but most RXs still won't support over 6V to my knowledge- so that makes it a problem.

James, most any brushless fan will be fine up to about 75% over spec'd volts. And wow do they work. Buddy of mine has 2 2" BB fans rated 12V, run on 16.8 normally, and have been run at 25V, no issues. I have 2 1" Novak fans rated at 5V, running 8.4 for over 3 years. No worries!
