Can the FASST receiver handle 7.2 volts without a regulator? I run a
7.2 lipo now with a regulator but it would be nice not to have to use
one.

Jim the 2 cell pack is 8.4V fully charged, so that is when you need
the 6V regulator.

The main issue isn't running at 7.2v, it's running a freshly peaked pack
that measures out at almost 9v.

James I'm running always a 2 cell lipo without regulator and i don't
have any issues with servos or receiver. I don't know if FASST
receiver can handle 7,2v.

Anyone have the aluminum plug that will screw into the futaba antenna
hole after a Fasst system is installed?

I remember them in a magazine, but it was over 4 months ago.

KMW makes them, but their site shows out of stock:

Check with Peter Martin at TKO. That's where I got mine. He sells the
KMW stuff.

Everyone is jumping ship to Futaba.

Good stuff.

Futaba quality is second to none. I have been a huge supporter of
airtronics equipment for 6 years but here recently it seems there
product has went down hill. I cannot keep airtronics servos in my
vehicles, and dont get me wrong I am no rookie, I know how to install
and maintain my electronics but they just dont last. Since my switch to
futaba everything has been great so far, but only time will tell on the
overall longevity and reliability.
