  • DS620 and DS650 on LiFe 7.2v?

    I've just bought my 1st AR7200BX, the paperwork says 8.5v max, so that's ok.

    However.....
    I got 3x DS620 on cyclic and a DS650 on tail. I know the specs say 4.8v & 6v, I don't see it specifies a maximum voltage, but what has everyone been running them on as a max?

    On my other raptor I had a DS620 on the tail with a 5s ni-mh pack, so about 7.1-7.2v fully charged. My plan for this new setup is to run on a 2s Life pack and BEC simultaneously, the ESC supports it and it says there is less voltage dip and it gives me a get out jail free card if the lipo or ESC fail.
    I reckon it should be good to go don't you?

    Run mine on Li-Fe cells with no problems at all.

      As above. Just converted my TREX 550 (3x DS610 and 1xDS650) to run on LiFe and although I've only had 4 flights to prove it, all seems well.

        I have been running all my 600E CFs and 550FBL on Life for around a year with no problem to any Align servos.
        Been there and done that, but never stop learning.
        Now too many Helis to mention?
