Anyone know if the 1268 can handle 2s lipo/8.4v direct?
I did have mine running through a CC BEC powered directly at 7.4v but today I roasted the BEC and thinking about running the servo directly from my 6s lipo (Mugen MBX5T-E). I have put together a plug and a Y adaptor servo lead that plugs onto the balance plug on the lipo to get the 2s voltage. I was thinking that the extra drain on 2 cells would be negligible, not 100% sure but I think would be worth checking out and I wouldnt have to worry about burning out another CC BEC (or is there another/better BEC that can handle 6s input and 7.4v output?). |
Will running an unregulated lipo on a 1256 servo cause any issues?

I normally run Sanwa or Futaba servos in my touring cars. I just got a SC10 2wd and I'm looking at trying a Savok servo for this application. Would the SC-1257TG handle this? Or would you guys recommend something different?

i have the 1257tg in my sc and i had to slow it down i run a 1257mg now and its just right in my losi sc |
Thanks guys. I think the 1257 will suit me just fine. I hate slow servos. If it's too much, I'll just slow it down on my M11x. I just hope it holds up. Thanks again.
|
the 1258 is still faster than most, but I'm sure you'll be fine either way durability-wise.
|
Just wanted to say these guys have the best warranty I have ever dealt with. One of mine went bad and I had a brand new one in under a week. Thanks guys!
|
Just letting you guys know I went with the 1258TG as suggested. Nice servo! Only issue was trying to find a servo horn to fit. I had to press fit a Futaba horn on my SC10 as others have suggested. Is there a "correct" servo horn or true compatible one? Or does the Savox have another unique spline?
|
..... Or are the SC10 servo horns just that tight? Forgot to add that in because I keep reading Savox are 25 spline like Futaba.
|
I have read quite a few times that Savox servos are pretty tight fitting, quite often needing to be pressed on.
On my 1268SG, I found my servo horn was also a very tight fit. Speaking of my 1268SG, it's on it's way back to Savox (I assume they already have it by now), I had a BEC failure (CC 10A) and possibly took the servo with it. When I initially tested it, it seemed to be working, I got a reply from Savox saying it's fine to run on 8.4v, which I did (to confirm it was working correctly) it stopped after a few seconds. I was just asked to send it in and if they find a problem with it, they will send me a new one. Coming from Australia, I thought that was pretty decent, I just hope they do as I've been told. |

Buy an Aluminum Horn!! These Dynamite horns are only 6 bucks and you wont have to worry about stripping the plastic ones.
Also the Ti geared splines are the only tight fitting ones I have dealt with. |
