Hello guyz! Novice driver here ^^...

Here is a link to the new hitec digital version of the ever popular HS-65MG:

It is a little bit expensive but it is also the best servo on the market in my opinion.

I have found these to be perfect for my touring car, and more than happy with there performance. In both the throttle and steering.

Case looks odd with only one ear on each side.

The stock servo in my 18MT was the same way...

And the Multiplex does NOT own the Hitec in color :lol:

staikosn1 02-08-2009 02:02 PM

How can we maintenance a servo after a racing seazon??? Any opinions?

drperry 02-08-2009 06:12 PM

Not a whole lot of maintenance in a servo until it breaks...

Maybe the occaisional bearing change.

seriously though it's awesome. Lightning fast with great torque for a mini. Feels like a high end 1/10th scale jr in a mini.

drperry 02-09-2009 10:26 AM

Oh definitely... I might be up grading soon!

Just gonna have to paint the case black :lol:

SBwrx5 06-17-2009 09:14 AM

I have an RC18B, too, but I'm pretty new to all this. If I bought the Hitec HS-5065MG Digital Micro BB MG Universal Servo would I need anything else to make it work?

drperry 06-17-2009 12:39 PM

Nope! Don't need anything extra!

Just make sure to adjust your EPA properly, if you can... Digital servos are apparently more likely to cook when the EPA's aren't set right.

I'm told in another thread that I would need an Associated adapter, too. Is that true? Also, what EPA and how do I adjust it?

You shouldn't need an adapter...

Depending on what brand you buy, you might have to trim a tab off the plug, but other than that, no worries...

EPA is your end point adjustment... It adjusts how far your servo can turn.

If you're using the stock XP2 radio, that little dial beside where your thumb sits, under the steering wheel, and behind the throttle controls how far your steering moves... Dial it back to take steering out.

Got it. Thanks.

Hope it works out for you!
