So just got a Baja 5B, the battery is a little tired, and have a question on servo running voltage, tried searching around but couldn't entirely find what I was looking for. My servos are rated 6-7.2/7.4v on the manufacturers website, now is likely to be a nominal battery voltage as I would expect, or max operating voltage? I would expect that a 7.2v servo should run on a 7.2v nimh pack (which won't fit a baja battery tray of course). I've seen people mention that you shouldnt run a Lipo on a 7.2v servo because a charged 2S is actually 8.4v..when in reality the charged voltage of a 7.2v nimh is also pretty close to 8.4v so shouldn't matter.
So what I am trying to ask really, can you run a "7.4v" servo on a 2S lipo? Assuming the rx can handle the voltage. Can fairly much buy a Baja sized lipo and a BEC if necessary for less than the standard 6v hump pack alone sells for, but would rather eliminate a BEC if not needed, couldnt find much that outputs a decent current at 7.2v in the cheaper products.
Also open to LiFe but they seem still quite expensive
