I also had the cheaper tester but it broke for no good reason, I was quite disappointed about that. I just ordered this tester also with battery holder, we'll see if it's any good! Friendly greetings from The Netherlands! Rob
I think it’s pot luck with testers. I have had the simple one with the 3lights for 5years or so and recently graded to digital read out one. After 3 months it gave up moving servos but readout still works? Servos move briefly when connected but work fine on other servo. Hey ho.
FPV Jos - Not sure I understand your question but for ground vehicles the BEC voltage on most ESCs I’ve seen range from 4.8-6V so I would assume most receivers, servos, lights, fans, and all other accessories that plug into a receiver should be able to handle that range of voltage and the standard voltage range of a AA I believe is 1.2-1.5V depending on how depleted it is so four AAs would add up to 4.8-6V which would be the same as the voltage range as most ESCs so seems like the perfect power source for a tester. Know some ESCs have a BEC that can go up to 7.4V but think that’s for HV servos I’m not sure though don’t have any experience with that. Anything more than that I probably couldn’t answer I don’t know much about all that electricity stuff like resistance, watts, amps, volts, it’s all Greek to me... 🤷🏻♂️
Do you know of a device that is like a BEC but instead of having 1 output of 6v it will have 3 outputs. The problem is the ones out there are either only 1 Chanel, or it’s 2 channels but one of the channels is just 5v and it’s not adjustable. Castle makes a 5v-12v output but it’s just 1 Chanel. Man…. I need 3 different voltages simultaneously 6.5v, 8.5v, and 11.5v without having a big mess.. I need to do this with a little electronics as possible. I’ve been researching like crazy.. I seen a demo where they used a potentiometer to brighten and dim an led light. If I could use the servo tester digital unit to set 3 different voltages on 3 of the channels and have those three different values set and working all at the same time, it will help me get one step closer to finishing the huge project that every ones waiting on me to finish. If this type of stuff is in your ball park I’d like to hear back from you thanks.
@@AszBall thanks dude.. still the esc doesn’t work with the servo consistent tester but seems the esc responds when I turn on with the flight controller. But still I am afraid to fly off with this esc!
I have this tester and it's been very reliable. I use it all the time so I recommend it highly. Thanks for your video.
Awesome video, thank you and GOD bless.

Apparently the little blue servo tester can only do analogue servos - The bigger tester with the read out will handle digital servos and analogue.
Hi thank you for you videos, they're very helpful! The battery pack is a good idea, how much imput voltage can handle receivers?

Awsome.Video man ! Did you say you had a link on how to make a battery pack ? Whats that link if got one ? This is very helpfull , great Job !
Can u use that servo tester as a trimmer for to adjust rotation on servo for RC car
No don’t think so that would be in the trim adjustments of your transmitter I’d believe

After playing with pulse width combinarions, my esc got messed up.. now it doesn’t work … Any idea what to do?
Sorry wish I could help, never understood the pulse function so don’t know what it coulda done to your esc. Good luck bud hope you get it working.

I had this tester, it fried every servo I connected it to.
