I'm sure there's a thread on this in here somewhere but I'm unable to locate it. With the larger steering servos requiring 6 to 8.4 + volts how do you wire to the receiver on gas or nitro boats where there is no speed control involved?
I’m using the Spectrum DX4C and my servos are a mixture of HV and normal. From what I can see it may be that a BEC device is needed so I can use the 7.4v battery for the HV servo (steering) and then take the receiver lead from the BEC to power the receiver.
I take the HV servo's power and ground connections direct to the 7.4v and the control wire to the receiver steering channel. The other two standard servos go to the receiver like normal. Does that sound right? Is anything needed for potential glitching on the HV servo?
