I don't know a receiver out there that won't handle 6V. Also, if you want to keep your plane, don't put someone else's used battery in it. Buy a new one, saving a couple of $$ now, will cost you a lot more later.

This is true. It's my servos. They only accept 4.8 v.

What servos only accept 4.8 volts, and are on a giant scale aircraft?

Hi Trev. Simply remove 1 cell from that 6v pack and you will then have a 4.8v pack.

Honestly, those are ancient, you sure you want to use those on a giant scale aircraft? Even the cheapest tactic servos can handle 6V, and they have a whole lot more torque. Your plane is only as good as the weakest part!

Just read the specs, they are indeed torguey. More worried about how old they are! If they came NIB, sure, but if they're ancient, I wouldn't risk using them in a plane I wanted to keep for a while.

Dumb question....why not just use 4 off the shelf 1.2 Volt rechargeable Nicads, and put them in a standard battery holder meant for AA's. A bit of electrical tape around them ensures they don't pop out. I used a set up like this in one of my slopers for 10 years, no issues. Kevin Baker
