squirrel: I think they are governed to avoid redlining... but I'm not entirely sure... this is the first project I've ever worked on that involves internal combustion (other than changing the oil on my hybrid).

VEI dude: Thanks for the suggestions.

squirrel: We've tried using six regulators for six servos... but this needed heatsinks on each regulator and a cooling fan. Trouble is, the very dusty environment didn't jive very well with the fan, and (mainly due to bad placement on the part of last year's design team... they put it on top of the nice n hot rear diff) still occasionally went out.

For now, we're going to order up one of those TI regulator boards Kevin mentioned. It looks like it should work, and we should be able to use a passive heatsink then encapsulate the rest of it.
