Spektrum VR60071
The VR6007 is designed for high-current draw applications, like giant-scale airplanes with multiple high-current draw servos. Spektrum’s
model VR6007 6-volt 7.5-amp regulator allows you to power your onboard radio system with either 2-cell lithium or 5- to 8-cell NiCd and
NiMH receiver packs. A single VR6007 regulator provides 7.5-amps continuous current (11 amp peak) making it ideal for most high-current
draw applications. For heavy-duty applications you can use two VR6007s to provide 15-amp continuous and up to 22-amp peak power. The
VR6007 is ideal for use with Spektrum’s AR9100 PowerSafe™ receiver and comes pre-wired with EC3™ connectors.

Note: Consult your servo manufacturer’s specifications for
maximum allowable voltage.
• Fail-on soft switch prevents radio loss due to switch failure
• Pre-wired with EC3 connectors ready to install with AR9100 PowerSafe
• Heavy-duty 16-gauge power leads
• Cooling fan provides additional current handling capability
• Convenient mounting lugs
• Two can be used with the AR9100 PowerSafe for up to 15-amp continuous
current
• Factory matched voltage output to draw evenly from dual battery systems
Note: When the battery is connected to the regulator, a low-current drain of
less than 1mAh occurs even when the switch is turned off. If storing
the system for any length of time, disconnect the battery(s) from the
regulator to prevent over-discharge.
Note: It is normal for the regulator to become warm during heavy operation.

Battery Capacity
Select a battery(s) that has more than adequate capacity to provide the necessary
flight time. Our staff has been recording in-flight data to determine typical current
consumption of aircraft in flight. Following are two graphs that illustrate the in-flight
current draw of the radio system
.
Note: Current draws may vary depending on your servos, installation and
flying style.
