I thought this would be the best place for this question...

I just wondered what would be the best voltage to run a large servo such as the S04/BB?

At the bottom of the page.

I plan to have a seperate battery to power it.

I believe they are 4.8V-6V, outside that is at your own risk

I am curious as to what you are planning for this servo, is it not too small for a feather?

I was planning on using two to power a simple gripping claw. The description of the servo doesn't mention metal gears so I'm pretty sure it has plastic ones, I therefore figured the claw should look a bit like this...

...so as to be flexible and prevent the motor stalling.

I haven't managed to find a metal geared servo for less than ?15 with more than 10kg/cm torque.
