Futaba Servo question Need HELP
Just joined the site New to the RC World. Just bought my first car HPI RS4 3EVO anyways just bought the Futaba 3PM-X 3-Channel 2.4GHz FASST with the Futaba R603FF Receiver. Anyways I also bought two Futaba S3152 servos and after reading Tower Hobbies description I am afraid that the servos are to much for my stock HPI, I wanted the S3151 but they did not have them. Do you think I will be ok

From Towet Hobbies "S3152 Digital Servo Precautions, -It is best to avoid long leads and Y-harnesses especially with standard grade wires. If problems are encountered, consider using heavy duty wire such as Futaba's Heavy Duty Series or Hobbico's Pro Series, minimizing lead lengths, and/or removing Y-harnesses. -Current Drain: Futaba S3152 Servo is Specially Designed for High- Torque and High-Speed, Therefore Very High Current Drain Is Normal At Startup. For Ultimate Performance When Using This Servo Please Review The Following Points. (1) When Using Systems With the Battery Fail Safe Function it Has a Higher Cut-Off Voltage Setting Which Will Cause Shorter Operation Time. (2) When Installing the Servo Please Check Pushrod Linkage To Make Sure There Is No Binding in Order To Prevent Excessive Power Consumption and Decrease the Life of the Motor and Battery. |
