UBEC 4.8V or 6V
Using the 6V vs the 4.8V UBEC will give higher torque and speed from the servos. Is that the only benefit? Are there a down sides to using the 6V UBEC over the more standard 4.8V?
Thanks, Dave |

Your input voltage needs to be at least two volts over the output voltage for best results.....
The 6 volt UBEC will make your servos draw more current....of course....the benefit is more torque and speed... |

Some higher end digital servoes are not rated for 6v. Futaba tail servos come to mind. Many have been tested ok at 6v on a regulator.
If your servos can take it you might as well enjoy the extra speed and torque. It's a nice way of waking up some older, tired, gear you have lying around. Mike |
