I've only run digital servos, but I don't see why not. Just make sure you are running the correct voltage for the servo application, i.e. LiPo would probably toast the servo.

I dont think it will. Worth a shot maybe, hoping it dont fry nothing. I dought it will hurt anything as i dought the recivers are that much diffrent.

Yes it will but only with the lowest framerate setting which I believe is the 16mS setting. There are 3 settings, maybe th middle setting wil work also but the fastest for sure not.

All servos are basically analogue.
The only real difference is that digitals servos are programmable regarding failsafes etc.
With the modern tx and rx's you don't really need digitals anymore IMHO

I run a ko pro 2173 fet servo in my rallycrosser which is analogue.
I also run a dx3r and a lipo with no regulator and at 5.5ms and i have never had issues.

So the answer to your question is yes no problem mate.


Just my thoughts.

Maybe when using a KO 2173 servo but I would not sugest it as standard. I have a Futaba HRS system and have played a lot and I can say that a lot of analoge servo's do not work. However I have designed a smal piece of electronics you can use on analoge servo's on a high speed framerate and works flawless on all servo's.

Should be able to use an analogue servo on the middle frame rate setting. I’m not just guessing, I’ve done it.

If you select too fast of a setting it will be fairly obvious right away, the servo will chatter a lot and not respond correctly.
