R/C Tech Forums

I'm guessing one of their components in the servo cannot handle direct lipo. I've come to believe that they use weak amps. They want me to purchase an ammeter and check if the servos are pulling to much current. One BIG problem, the servo will not behave the same on the bench as on the track. Hence there is no way of safely running the servos without a regulator.

That's exactly it too. The servo pulls the power, the battery doesn't push the power. If something is failing because of too much current, it is totally a result of inadequate components in the servo. Totally JR's fault. Funny that they would build a $200 "High Voltage" servo that can't handle high voltage.:lol::lol: Typical JR BS.:rolleyes:

Ti Gear's = Indestructible :nod:

Futaba is probably like OS, you race it, it's not warranted, end of story. But they are fixing my friends 3PKS.

They look nice! Just wonder if their "special Japanese" aluminum can handle 400+ oz/in torque. At $200 I think I would stick with the hitec HV's. But I am a hitec guy.:D

I get bored and I like to try new stuff espically when its Japanese. :D

I race with Joe and know him well. Already heard it. But then i can tell you a story about something he really likes that i really don't. Out of respect and friendships i would never post it. Dodge vs Ford vs Chebby. Oh how i loved the 60's and 70's. Now where was I?

KO's feel real nice, my friend has their flagship model, whatever it is(EX10)? It's nice. My old 3PK is like and old comfy pair of Levi's.

Yep that's it. Funny angled wheel. Nice feel. I'm sure Airtronics is a very quality radio, but it absolutely doesn't fit my hand.

The funny angled wheel is an add on but well worth the $50 bucks. The Eurus is the most comfortable radio I have ever held and it is the 1st radio that I am aware of that keeps the digital signal from user input to servo response (as long as you use digital servos), most others convert it into analogue.

I tried KO because it was new, Japanese and I always felt like my DX3R was a cheap toy even though it always treated me good.
