There are a lot of devices you can plug into your receiver for power. From LED lights to LED bars to winches to whatever you want.
Does anyone know how to figure out how many watts or amps you can draw from a receiver before it starts to fail or prevent your servos from working correctly or stop working all together?
I ask this because I like accessories. I use them alot and sometimes I worry about drawing too much from the receiver so I often attach a fused lead to the battery and a voltage regulator to adjust the voltage to whatever I want, usually 3 or 6 VDC. Then most of my accessories attach to that for power.
I usually use this receiver. It's specs show nothing of a draw amount limit.
Am I being too paranoid about this?
Has anyone else had this issue come up where too many accessories screwed up your receiver?
What are some of the other ways people have fixed this problem?
How do I tell at what amperage the receiver can put out?
Just curious.
Thanks. Have a great weekend.
