Bill P Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hi I have a kyosho nitro tracker with kyosho reciever and servos. The truck uses 4 AA batteries 4 x 1.5v batteries = 6v but I was wondering if I could use 18650 batteries in series so the voltage would be 2x3.7= 7.4v Does anybody know if the reciever and servos would work at 7.4v or will I have to put a 7.2v to 5v regulator or would they work on 1 battery 3.7v ? Thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Check their specs but would assume they cant take 7.4V. A regulator will work but 6V is best and the usual running voltage for servos. I run LiFe receiver packs on standard servos and rxs and they can take 6.6V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find a max voltage for it so I thought someone will have used 18650 batteries and give advice. Thanks again Locky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
