Product Description
The Receiver/Servo Power Cable lets you power your HB-2 or MC-4 Lighting Controller directly off any open port on your Receiver. If your Receiver is outputting 6V or higher, than this is MyTrickRC's recommended method for powering your HB-2 or MC-4. The ideal input voltage for your HB-2 is 6V to 8V (for example, a 2S LiPo Battery). ~7.4V voltage offers the best overall performance from your Lighting Controller.
Another advantage of powering your Lighting Controller from your Receiver is that when your battery's charge gets too low, your vehicle will automatically shut down the car and lights to protect the battery. Without the vehicle's Receiver providing this function, the HB-2 or MC-4 does not have the ability to protect your battery if the voltage gets too low.
NOTE - If your Receiver is outputting 6V the HB-2 will work, but the amount of High Power LEDs is much more limited. If the HB-2 doesn't have enough voltage on the input, the LEDs might flicker or blink on and off. If this happens, the solution is to feed a higher input voltage to the HB-2.
