Servo Board

[Laser]

What kind is the best to use for its servo board that will run on 7.4v

[harry hills]

mate, no servo board will run 7.4v for very long, anyway it would be geting 6v from the rx anyway.

Even the futaba s3003 servo craig recommends on robotwars101?

[harry hills]

i don't know how he manged that, any way how will you get 7.4v to the board without it going to the rx?

[Laser]

it will go through the rx.
does the planet t5 rx have a built in voltage regulator?

[harry hills]

7.4v will blow the rx im afraid

[jonny]

yep, maybe you could only have the signal wire going to the receiver and the power wires going to a jst connector and the lipo connected to the jst connector

[daliad100]

If the servo can handle it you can connect the full battery voltage to the servo, leave the signal and negative wires and run the reciever through a regulator/ separate battery

[widow_twanky]

To connect to the receiver you would need to take the signal wire and negative because it needs a return path. In donkey we run the receiver through a 7805 voltage regulator (with some capacitors on it) and connect directly to the hpx servos.

Voltage Range: Input: 3.5-9.6Volt

So it depends on the receiver specs.
