Life Source Batteries

[Piston1]

Are there any issues or problems with running dual recievers powered by a single Life Source battery pack.

Hey Hose-A

Hope life's treatin' ya well these days my friend.

A single pack .... well that kinda defeats the idea behind dual RX's if you lose power from the one source. Two batteries, two switches and two RX's have alsways been the way in my opinion when using dual RX's. B)

I understand, I am just asking. Life is good with a lot of work. Hope you and your family are good.

I dont know about runnig dual RX'S But dont use 6.6Volt LiFe's with Hitech servos.

Make it a loop. Battery - switch - steering receiver - jumper ch 3(steering receiver) to ch 3 or(throttle receiver)- throttle receiver - 2nd switch - second battery.

I havent heard of anyone having problems with the LiFe packs Jeremy. Tell us what you know.

hitech servo's are rated for 7.4v now, so the LiFE 6.6 would be fine. Back in the "old" days with AA dry cells over 6v was pretty common also. SOME servos are NOT rated for 6V (Futaba and others) so those need to be avoided.

No problems hence the multiple plugs!

Well I run Hitech HS-85MG'S for throttle and 3rd channel.I have no problem with my 6v Nickel packs.

But when I used the 6.6v the servos heated up and just died.The same thing happen with my 81's but they are junk anyways.

Yes Some are rated 7.4v but even some that are rated at 6volts cant withold the extra .6 volts.Hitech not futaba.

I know it sounds werid.

So stupid question time.... The whole purpose of dual recievers is to just save some volts between the recievers???

A single pack .... well that kinda defeats the idea behind dual RX's if you lose power from the one source. Two batteries, two switches and two RX's have always been the way in my opinion when using dual RX's. B)

It's a safety thing many of us do in the twins. One RX/batt/switch covers steering and the other set covers throttles with the idea that if one fails you can still either steer it until it runs out of fuel or hopefully shut down before hitting anything if you lose the steering side. It's playing the percentages, the chances of losing both are far less than losing one RX. With the that much mass and speed in a twin a runaway is not a pretty picture.
