You should be ok voltagewise........I cant see any problems....maybe 7 volts and over then you might think about using a regulator....which are fairly cheap to buy...apparently.

I faced a similar question as my newest heli is a Predator gasser whicis going to use digital servos....I was worried about the battery pack being too powerful but it turned out to be still 4.8 volts but with a larger capacity of 2400 mah....I would be quite happy with 6 volts without a regulator.

Check your details out for the servos....did they come in a little plastic case? there might be some instructions...or 'dos and donts' included?

many thanks for your advice i think from what i have found out that the s5294 only operate on 4.8 volts not six strange since on my other heli s3001 and other anologue servos 6 volts seem fine cheers for your help steve
