Hello everyone, Novice Tony here again, Would it be feasable to run an E.S.C. and motor for a 40mm jet thruster plus LED Nav lights off a 12v 14 Ah scooter battery and then run receiver and servos off a suitable nicad battery pack or can you obtain parts to run everything off 12v. Many thanks.

You can get a BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) that will regulate your 12v down to 5v to run your radio kit etc off.

HTH :)

Many thanks Woody, Are all servos and receivers operated by 5 volts,

[Shipmate60]

The receiver and servos run of 4.8 to 6 volts.

Hi Crippin

      Good info to be found at       http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/        index Tech Stuff  / Electrics    or

        the info pages of     http://www.action-electronics.co.uk/home.

Hai friend, you can simply make any voltage from a greater source than you need, so it need only a power transistor, and a zener diode with a resistor. the output voltage is determined by the voltage of the zener diode you used.so from a 12 volt , source you can tap from .3 volt to 5.3 volts..7 volt will drop because of the junction barrier of the transistor. but in my experience its better to connect a reciever with an individual battery pack, if not it can generate some SAW problems with operating waves,can cause lack of control and crash.

Many thanks again to everyone for their help
