Futaba servo on lipo.

Post by sandkil »

Hey guys,
Working on getting my old Team car upgraded with 2,4GHz radio, brushless motor and lipos, but what servo to use? It's a darn jungle. Seems like 7,4V is a killer on servos these days.
I'm a old Futaba fan so any tips on a good Futaba servo would be greatly appreciated.

Most esc will still have 6v anyway mate,though some have adjustable bec voltage.. Check esc specs first otherwise you could be paying for the extra voltage capability an not be able to use it... :mrgreen:
