Title: Getting Back Into the Nitro helis, a little help please?
Post by: firefighternickn on June 15, 2017, 03:00:43 AM: Recently got bit by the Nitro bug again and I'm about to pull the trigger on an N7 kit. Back in the days, we needed a voltage regulator in order to power the servos, but I'm looking to run high voltage BK servos in the N7. Could you guys chime in and let me know what I need? Thinking of running a straight lipo to the Ikon FBL.

Hello! Welcome to the Synergy Family!

Yes, with BK HV servos, you can run a straight 2s Lipo and you are good to go!

Yup, I have all my nitros running directly off a 2s lipo. You may need a couple y harnesses to be able to make all the connections. I made a cable with a EC3 plug on one end and 2 servo leads on the other. Servo leads plug to Brain/Ikon, EC3 plugs directly to the 2s lipo.

If you haven' already purchased the Ikon, buy the HD version as it has a separate power bus plug that can directly plug to the lipo and you won't have to worry about making servo leads to power everything.

Single line connection between FBL and RX usually used by Futaba.
