Default No 8.4V on CC BEC Pro?

I just installed one Outrage Torque HV servos in my X5, each of which are spec'd at 5.2-8.4v.

When I try to change the voltage output of the CC BEC Pro I'm only given the option of 8.0 and then 8.5... no 8.4. I've seen other folks list servos running on the BEC Pro's at 8.4, so is there a way to get this value?

That 0.1V won't make a difference, just use it

Nominal voltage for a 2s LiPo is 7.4v so that’s what you should use. The 8.4v gating is peak to cover the first few seconds of a fully charged LiPo pack. I don’t thing that they intended you run at 8.4 volts all the time. That might shorter servo life. As for me I would set the voltage to 7.4.

I just checked for a custom option and didn't see one.

Thanks, I figured it wouldn't make a huge diff.

Or 7.5v? As that's the only option? I guess this goes back to what heraldo said above

If a servo can take a 2S lipo, it's rated to 8.4V. It'll be fine.
