Hey Jason,
Unfortunately, no one has had a chance to use that servo as it does not hit the market until August of this year. I have been testing the HS7950TH, and if the 40 is anything like the 50, it is going to be a very popular servo. The 50 is the torqy brother of the 40.

August? The website says June.

The release date got pushed back unfortunately.:( It will be well worth the wait.:nod:

:( I thought it was bad enough that tower now lists july. August and the season is basically over for anything I will use it in. Might have to pick up a JR in the mean time. Dont want to cancel my order because it was part of a big order and they dont give the discount until after this ships.:flaming:

JR makes great servos, if you have to have a servo right away that is a good choice. The 7955TG is also a great servo, it just doesn't have the speed i think you are after. IMHO you can't go wrong with titanium. I am willing to give up some speed to make sure that i finish a race. :nod:

I actually already have the 7955 in my hyper 9 now. Really want something faster. It was alright when I had 7v going to it but my tekin only does 6v and I really dont want to run an external bec unit.

I think the 7950 needs a warning for those people with radio's without EPA adjustments.. with tah amuch amount of torque on lipo, it would easily strip out servo horns.

So whats the official release date for the 7940 & 7950?

August.

Now mid September. So like right now, right??? :rolleyes:

Hobby People shows them in stock now.

The first batch has already shipped out to the distributors. :tire:

is anyone using it now?
do you like it as a steering servo for buggy?

7940's
 

I am currently using 2 of these servos for steering in my buggy and my truggy. Plenty of power, blistering fast speeds. Best servo I have used to date and I have used the JR9100s, Associated DS1015, Hitec 7955.

sounds good:nod:

anyone else who tried them?

no one using it?

Hi all, Do these servos have to be used with lipos or are 6v hump packs ok?And can u run lipo thru the standard reciever that comes with a DX3r does any1 know?

Guys, Im running the 7940 (steering) and the 7950 (throttle) in my new Mugen MRX5. I was running a 7955 in my old MRX4X it was tuff as nails, but slow compared to the 7940.

In my first run with the new car and the new servos I finished 5th in the A main at the famed Ft Myers RC car track. The car felt very connected and the servos were very smooth.

Currently I'm running a nimh battery with a plan of going to lipo as soon as I can find one that will fit in the car.

I have my 7955 as a back up but I am on the hunt for some new 7940s these servos get very high marks from me !! I have run Sanwa, JR, and KoPropo servos in the past ... I'm NOT going back.
