MGM Compro 16016 - NEED HELP

Two servos under load will draw far more current than one turning nothing. IMO, until ESCs start integrating switching BECs, it's a good idea to run a UBEC on anything over 7-8 cells, especially when running multiple servos.

I really don't know why it fried the servos though. Usually, when a linear regulator is overloaded, it shuts down. Some receivers can take higher voltages than most servos. Spektrum receivers, for instance, can take 9.6v according to the manufacturer (IIRC).

I also thought that that the integrated BEC was fused and would protect against short or near short circuit (over loaded). I'm assuming something went wrong and it supplied the servo's with well over 5v's.

I'm waiting on some new servo's from tower, i guess i better order the UBEC from mike because the external battery pack looks really ugly hangin off the front shock tower :-)
