Who's going to try the 3S capable servo?

Speed of it seems nice, but the torque isn't nearly enough for anything large not to mention I don't see how you would run that much voltage? It would fry the RX well before 12V I would think.

you run the power wires direct to a battery and only the signal wire to the RX.

Yea, thats what I thought, but I don't think that would really be my choice to be honest. Seems like it could potentially complicate things quite a bit.

yeah, I prefer the simpler standard approach. It comes from the crawler world where power is king, which really makes me scratch my head at the low torque high voltage unit. Bragging rights maybe?

It depends, if you have all HV servo's (or, like me, just have 1 servo - the steering servo) you can just run more voltage through your RX.

The Spektrum SR3500 receiver I used in my CRT.5 and Mini E-Revo are rated to 9V while the "Pro SR3001" in my G2R is rated to 9.6V.

The Castle Link allows you to adjust as high as a 9V output, so you could put it right there on the edge.

Personally I'd just stick with a Hitec servo. Cause for the most part if you want to get the full advantage out of those HV servo's, you'll be complicating things by getting separate 3S receiver packs and what not, you'd be better off spending the extra money on the right Hitec servo that outputs almost the same torque on just 6V.
