    If you guys have something you want me to explain in a video like this, lemme know! :) Otherwise, I'll just be using servos and stuff to make high voltage experiments more fun.

      Tommy Callaway how do you charge the battery pack for the receiver? I have a regular flysky type transmitter that has 6 channels ,and i wanna use servos on all of those channels,so 5 channels left,if you take in account one channel is for the battery pack. I was thinking about using the cheap battery packs that you just replace the battery's in and out of the case, but I wanted somthing with more longevity. Sorry if that's alot.and also is a 6v battery pack good for that amount of servos? Just using a regular easy size servo,nothing special or big.

    This video is so helpful. I’m planning on taking apart an rc car for a servo and jerry rigging it to my light switch so I can remotely turn my lights on and off. I hope it works.

    Maybe a little off topic but I see you have a spot welder. Is it 110V? Does it make good welds? I've been wanting to get one but I hear that the 110V spot welders don't make very good welds unless you swap out the transformer for a microwave transformer. Your response is much appreciated.

      I would try getting a splitter, or just make your own. :) You can also get a more advanced controller/receiver meant for like drones, and then set up input mixing to have one input control multiple channels.

      Nope. Just positive and negative pins. The third wire is for signal, and isn’t used on the battery.

      @@TommyCallaway I didn't think so. Thank you so much for replying. Where did you get your reciever and transmitter for such a good price? I've been on Amazon but haven't found one less than 50. I've gotten a lot of things from Amazon but lately the quality has been crap. For example I bought a pack of 15 lm385 chips and only one worked properly. I've bought aux jacks and they weren't very good either along with other issues I've had lately with buying electronics parts. Hell I bought what was supposed to be a reciever and transmitter from geek .com and only got the reciever. Anyway thank you for the video and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them.

      put them on other channels (ch2, ch3 etc) depending on how many channel your receiver has and how many channels your remote has.
