JR 922 Rx - voltage output

[Haulpakjak]

Hi all.

I have a query about the JR 922 receiver. I read somewhere that JR make 2 types of these - one to suit the normal 4.8v servo's and another to suit newer 6v servo's.

Is this true? From what I've seen they run on anything from 6v to 10v, but is this voltage regulated somehow? Has anyone used 4.8v servo's on a 6v 922? I intend on using 4.8v hitec digital servos (5955's)

BTW, this is my first post. Any help is appreciated.

Well your question about whether or not there are rx's with a lower power output is answered by saying yes, but the rx you mention is not one of them...

The only rx's with a reduced power output are the new 71XX from Spektrum which are designed specifically for heli's as there are a number of heli servos restricted to the 4.8 volt input as well as some gyros which are not happy on 6.0 volts.

the 5955's can handle up to 7.4 volts, and nearly all high torque digital servos can handle 6v or more. The receiver does not regulate voltage to the servos, you would need a regulator to do that. Your best bet is to just run A123 batteries. They are 6.6v and you don't need to use a regulator

True, you can and should go to a higher voltage power system for those servos.

6.6v is more than enough Joey boy!
