I see thankfully the servo boards I'm using are standard size ones.

When you test, be sure to rapidly move the control stick back and forth. I found that a couple of the standard size boards we use stuck on full forwards while others didn't. Hence, we don't run on full LiPo voltage but regulate down to around 6V which does the trick nicely so this is an option if required.
