Hi guys,

I have a complete set of duralite batteries in my fury extreme. I am currently using a 5.1V regulator with all digital servos, GV1 and GY502.

I am going to buy a new set for my tempest(using the same electronics), but I read somewhere that Marcus Kim is using the 5.6V reg instead of the 5.1V reg.

My questions are:

Does the 5.6V reg is going to damage my electronics?
What can I expect in terms of performance if I use the 5.6V reg?

Please, need your opinion on this before buying this new set.


Thanks,

Vic :lol:

I have seen a few people using the 5.6 reg. I am still waiting to see what effects it has on the electronics if any.

I am currently using the 5.1 reg from Duralite and a 5.2 reg from Modelavionics.

Not much difference in performance.

Only advantage using the 5.6 that I could see is faster servos.
