Hi
I`m going to be using a Li-Po based regulated 5.4v supply on the Vario heli that I`m building at the moment.
I have a JR 490T gyro and one of the new JR 8900G servos rated as per usual at 4.8 volts.
What can any one recommend to use to step this 5.4 volts down to the required 4.8 volts for the servo?

Realise a 4.8 volt rating is actually a 4 cell Rx pack rating, and a 4 cell pack will run as much at 5.4 - 5.8 volts fully charged.

Thanks for the info.
I use the same set up on my Rex 600.This step down device would be an option and I had already though about it,but was wondering what else is out there.
