New Turnigy Titanium HV Servos

[suicideneil]

Embrace the global economy- half the stuff we buy these days is made in china or korea etc etc; especially electrical goods, and batteries in particular. Just because its got an American flag on the box dont make American- look at MA lipos for example; chinese cells imported to the USA to be assembled into packs = massive price mark up.

I'm thinking of ordering one of these:
Turnigy HV-767 Digital HV-2S Servo 31kg/ .118sec / 78g
But they didn't state which servo horns they use. Airtronics, JR, Futaba, etc?

I would guess Futaba. The HV-767 is the one I ordered so I'll let you know when it arrives.

It's not a good idea to simply run a HV servo directly plugged into the receiver?

I know Spektrum receivers can handle up to about 9-9.5V so the voltage isn't a problem. Not sure on other brands. Maybe if the servo was drawing too much current it could cause problems, but that could happen at lower voltages also.

Does anyone know the max voltage of a futaba 3PM reciever?

It says lipo with regulator so it probably doesn't take 8V.

I had used a 2S lipo without a regulator on my predator maxx and race revo which uses the 3PM rx and Hitec 5955TG servo. All the components are still working though they don't get as much attention compared to my flashlights .

I will be using the Spektrum SR3300T receiver along with the Turnigy servo. Hopefully it'll not cause any problems.

Anyone received theirs yet?

Not me, Feb 20th I got the "Checker Robot" message saying my order was packed and sent to shipping dispatch. I didn't pay for the EMS express this time like I usually do. Hopefully now that the holidays have passed Hong Kong Post won't be so slow on standard shipping. I really want to get the servo to test out, but I won't be able to run my truggy until April/May anyway I guess there's no rush.

I doubt you'll get it soon, Chinese New Year is ending tonight, and all the factories and warehouses are opening up again tomorrow morning, so they have tons of orders to fill :O

If a receiver is rated to be able to take up to 9.6v, what does tht mean?

[BP-Revo]

Well, typically you have RX power input into the receiver, and then your servos plug into the receiver and the receiver passes power through to the servos and also takes a little bit of power for itself to run.

If you put too much voltage into the receiver you fry it.

If your servo can take 12V but your receiver can take only 6v, you can feed a 6v input to the receiver and a 12V source to the servo directly, hooking up the servo's signal wire to the receiver.

Castle BEC at 7.4V into SR3100(rated at 9V) and a HV servo plugged in. Is this correct? (and eliminating the wire at the ESC)
