Relax --my point is that the argument of 3.5V vs 3.1 V as being a point , hardly worth the effort
Why?
If you do some hands on testing of batteries - as needed to get proper operation with high power servos -- you will see that any setup worth having will not see under 4 volts unless the batt is going dead.
Futrther - many of the so called failures with Spektrum were with small electric powered models which had ESC/BEC problems-,oftendue to excessive motor loads and P poor batteries . and often as not the user had no clue as to the relationship of powerbattery/ BEC voltage drop etc..
Also there were a jilion of these on the market and NO --count em NO other 2,4 setups running . So the instant knee jerk reaction was " the Spektrum don't work"---
I have 4 foamies with 6100rx from a 5 ounce to a 18 ounce and batts from 380 mah to 2100 - I flog the crap out of all of these and all will fly as far as you can see.

So why do I scoff at some of the so called tests I see?
Simple - I can find no FACTS to back em up-
