I'm planning on getting a vibe in the near future and I was wondering if I ran 8717s on the cyclic if a 10Amp regulator would be enough to insure me against brownouts, I'd be running a G770+8900 on the gyro and probably going at 6V.

Also, do 8717s wear faster when you run them at 8Vs? I hear this is the new popular setup for the crack freaks, but its above the ratings and I have a hard time doing anything that would potentially damage such expensive servos.

vibe 50 or 90? either way, i know guys running n9's with 710's, 8717's, etc on 5.7v on an align 6amp reg just fine (believe it or not). 10 amp on 6v's should be fine. insured against brownouts? i dunno about that one. just make sure you have a bind free head linkage setup and you should be good.

will the 8v's wear out the servos faster? sure. how much faster, i have no idea. guys here have been running them on 8v's for a while so that's good to know.

just an opinion from someone who runs futaba servos

good luck

I've heard guys with 90s running on 8v were wearing the gears in the servos faster.
