They, as in Futaba say 6 volts only. Anyone run 4.8???? If I have to run 6 volts whats the smallest pack available\non lipo??? Thanks, Kevin...
Not bad at all $20 at Tower!!! Small also!!!
dont you need a special charger for the life packs,,,,????? think you do,,,,grim can answer that im sure.....keep that in mind kevo
What about runtime??? How long can you run before a charge is needed?? Thanks Grim!!I have.. ALLOT!..
I can not say enough about em..
I hope we can also come out with a 500mah or so unit in the future.

Technically most AA's are now 1.5v so.... 4 cells would = 6volts thats all I can think of, but how fast would they drain below 6v... Also noticed after reading manual always use R603FF/FS under the following conditions: 6v type Futaba digital servo (hrs) mode...
You can slow the servos down with your transmitter settings. HRS allows you to take advantage of the Futaba fail safe features when using digital servos. You ruined your servos in HRS mode because they were analog servos.Technically most AA's are now 1.5v so.... 4 cells would = 6volts thats all I can think of, but how fast would they drain below 6v...

DO NOT run your FASST system in HRS mode! The fasst system itself is lightning quick in ppm mode. In HRS you will very likely have twitchy servos and could burn up your servos. I smoked (actually smoked) (2) brand new HS-225's before I figured this out. HRS has also caused intermittent binding issues as well. I have accidently been in HRS when running a car, and it is noticeably twitchy even with all digital servos.
So just watch out for the 3 letters HRS and otherwise the FASST system is locked in and awesome. You should be able to run (4) AA's for hours before they fall below 5.4 V. If you want 6V in the same size, I'd look at the venom 1200mah 5cell pack. I get them off the shelf for $13 at hobbytown. Check your voltage and don't go out below 6.0V or they could dump on you.
