100cc expander
Good day,
I want to use the new hitec hi voltage servos (1 everywhere) and am looking at the powerexpander pro because there is not need for additional switches and can have 2 lipos pluged in directly into it . however i will need to run 1 servo for the throttle which will not be HV type. so what would be the solution to the problem in my case since i cannot connect it to the receiver to run on regulated voltage. my only though is to plug in a reg into the throttle channel to reduce the voltage for the throttle ... any ideas are apreciated.

Re: 100cc expander
That's what you have to do. Spektrum makes such a regulator:

Re: 100cc expander
Hi,
We make a servo regulator (http://www.smart-fly.com/Products/Regulator/4.htm). One side would plug into the PowerExpander and the other side would go to your servo. It will reduce the servo voltage to 5.2V.

Re: 100cc expander
NO, DO NOT connect any servos to the receiver when using any of our systems. The regulator for the receiver can only handle 1 amp and a stalled servo can take this regulator out.
