    Voltage of TK7.1 CH1 for servo recoil?

    Am I correct if I'm getting 5.27V from the positive and negative wires from the CH1 terminals? Does this mean that this is the max voltage to the servo? because it doesn't fluctuate. I know the "S" wire is variable and does show a spike between 174.00 to 280.00 I'm guessing Not volts?and I know I'd likely need an oscilloscope to measure the "S" wire properly.

    Typical hobby servos operate from between 4.8 and 6 Volts.
    The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

      Thanks Bob. Yes I've learned this. I'm more curious how many volts the 7.1 board distributes to the servo sockets under specific powered batteries IE 7.2V-7.4V up to what a 3S lipo would output. And Does/Can the 7.1 board limit output through the servo ports from higher voltage batteries?

        Within the board's voltage range, yes. The servo voltage is regulated. Rubicon has experience in voltage tolerances, and I know he has used 3S packs. I'll leave it to him and Rich Johnson to share their observations.
