Learned my lesson with regulators after buying a used YAK that had a regulator for everything- failed on take-off at about 20 feet. No prior indication of any problem. Since then, my planes are either ALL low volt or all high voltage. Best to reduce the points of failure to a minimum. As we know, when you're off the deck you're at risk.

What I use on an hv system if I want to use a non hv servo for throttle only. |

The last time I used a regulator on anything was 2005, using Fromeco LiIons with 6v and 4.8 servos.
Ditched them a couple years later when I started switching to A123s and HV servos. Don’t miss them, never going back. I’m looking forward to Futaba and other following the lead of JR and rewinding servo motors for 12 volts. Lower amperage and 4 cell LiFe packs will have just as much punch as 3S LiPo. |

Just a common sense question.
When using a regulator you'll always get the same current to the servos, this will give you the same power and speed throughout the entire flights, from flight 1 to flight 6. Also, the servo is working in its optimal 7.4 v for example, so anything above it or anything below it will make it work good but not efficient and effective it suppose to be. So why not using a reg, what is the benefit not using one, other than failure? |
