To regulate or not to regulator tiz D ?
« on: January 16, 2013, 09:46:50 PM »
Here is my questions: Do you have to run a regulator with a Vbar?
Here is my set up: Thunder Power 7.4 1900 mAh lipo, Full size Blue Vbar with 2 satilites as RX, JR DS8717's to move move the blades about, Torq BL9188 out back on the tail (well on the nose really), and trying to see if I should go with the 9650 for throttle Then run a regulator or should I just drop the weight of the reg and drop some cash on a 3717HV. I've posted a pic I found online. Is this the way the Vbar set up should look like?
One last thing.. what all sensor wires will work with the Vbar for the Gov? I have a multi gov, spectrum(that came with the 7100R RX)

Answered you on HF, sorry I missed this post was traveling :)

I run the ReactorX2 on my N5c but because I don't have HV servos. If I had HV servos all the way around, I would run a HV switch and call it a day. One less thing to go bad :)

And the Vbar power buss can handle 9v so you are ok there.

Thanks Chris, I didn't get anything here so I posted it on the freak. Don't check it much.
Do you have a good HV switch you would recomend?

I like this one:

Heavier gauge wire than the JR/Spektrum version. Should handle the job no problem.

Well I have no VBars at this point but I use  Gryphon regulator and a 2S lipo on my N5C with the CGY750. I like the Gryphon regulators.  The external switch is a nice feature.

Cheers
