Getting Back Into the Nitro helis, a little help please?

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.
