  • Powering the r6203sb 7.4v

    Extra help needed
    okay all. Im going to run the new 6203sb with a straight 7.4v as i like to try for the neat install/loose nose weight and get rid off the scott gray reg , going to run the new cgy 750 fbl unit , anyway i have the dual reg gryphon to use to step down my tail and throttle would this work? , the question is can i run a normal futaba switch harness/lipo as the reciever only takes the norm batt futaba plug, if not can the normal lipo futaba lead be enough to cope with the amps?would rather be able to use a switch though
    other option is a heavy lead with a deans and a futaba plug fitted but cant find none anywhere
    any thoughts much appreciated or may just stick with the scott gray

    If going for a high current input into the rx then taking it all through 1 servo-type plus isn't the best idea. Easiest might be to run a throttle servo at the same volts and run a second power source into that and rx or get fancier and bypass the need for a reg but still power each cyclic off the main pack - it means making up a bunch or 2 or 3 servo leads wired directly to the lipo unless you have a pack with dual plugs out. Options can be dual switches or your bunch of servo leads to a deans and plug/.unplug that instead of a switch.
    I'm gussing there is a distributor board somwhere that makes it easy..a bit like the griffon but without the regulator in it..just haven't seen one. Giant plank guys will have one

      I use one of these for an 8v set up but changed the deans for EC3 connectors:

      You just need two ports available on your Rx. I don't bother with on/off switch. I just plug the battery in each flight (hence the EC3's as they are easier to disconnect after each flight). Works great, no issues.

      Cheers
