Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / October 2005dual voltage - 12v dc motors and 6 volt servo..Please help
I am attempting to control 6 volt servos and 12 volt dc motors with a hitech 6 channel transmitter modified for ground with a hitech receiver. How can I control the motors with 12 volts and the servos with 6 volts with one transmitter? The speed controller does not have a BEC. Please try to keep it simple. Thanks!!

Key words here are "voltage regulator". I am sure you can find on of those car lighter to multiple voltage regulators. Either find a used one or a cheap one that gives you 6 volts and remove the electronics from the cigarette lighter shaped casing. My local surplus electronics store has tons of them for under 10$. The other option is to make yourself one with a 7812 regulator chip. Radioshack(the Source) used to have them on the rack and they had the schematic right on the back page showing a typical setup. TA02 Miniature Lathes and Millings http://clisby.macphreak.com Just throwing out another option. You could use a battery pack to power the electronics. I paid less then $20 for a good NIMH pack for a nitro truck. Pros: Plug and play, no soldering or fancy wiring. Can use still electronics when primary battery fails. Cons: Added weight. Another battery to charge. Space considerations possibly. |
