throttle servo
 

Hey im looking at throttle servos. I know i want a hitec. But on specs im not sure. I know i want fast as possible but how about tq oz? What do i want minimum, and can most hitec servos handle 7.4v even though it might not say it? Thank you!

Dont know your budget... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXWCE7&P=ML
Personally i use the 985mg(th/brk) and 5955(steering) lipo direct for the past 2 years with zero issues.

ya trying to keep it under 100.

Up to you..
 

I believe 150 oz is enough for buggy, prob want a bit more for truggy... .10-.14 for speed. the faster the better in my opinion...

7955, 7940, or 7950 are the only 3 Hitech servo's that will handle direct Lipo. 7955 is the least expensive of the 3.

5955 will too if you can find one here used

servos
 

it seems a lot of people are trying savox servos including myself. the hv are more affordable.

are the savox servos pretty good? Been reliable?

alot of people have switched to them and been using them just fine... i got one and ran it for about a quart or so and sold it...

I am looking for new servos also.
I want .06-.11 sec at 250 Oz. inch(or higher), running on 6.0 volt Nimh or maybe try a new Life Pack.

this may cost more than you want to spend: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...l-Torque-Servo

I am actually looking for one that is M11X SSR mode.
I dont really see anything on amain hobbies.

Are these specs standard mode or SSR mode?

why?

i dont know, i think they are, but not sure.

just didnt like them, felt slow and kinda hesitated. they were smooth tho. just not for me... the more expensive ones are better when running lipo but still didnt feel as fastest as they are supposed to be... still good servos for the price, i just rather spend a little more for something i like more... i only run NiMh and LiFe batteries.

You couldnt be more wrong. See my previous post...

a hitec 7954 is a good alternative to the 7955, same thing except medal gears.

also hobbico makes a hitec 7955, just under their name: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXNRN6&P=ML

I'm using the Savox 1267 and 1268 servos for throttle and steering.

High voltage (direct LiPo, no regulator) and under $100.

Both buggy and truggy, zero problems to date. Their support is also terrific. We have been told that if there is ever an issue with a servo, they will drop you a replacement right away with no long wait period like JR or Hitec.

yes, definitely! SAVOX is fast becoming the hottest brand in electronics for motors and servos. you can check them out at http://www.nitrokings.com/index.php?...ategory_id=225
:nod:

good throttle servo is a hitec hs965mg or hs5965mg, both have -.09 speed and 138/146 oz.tq........BTW savox is poo, knowone loved them badged as orion servo's, yet everyone thinks the savox servos are the best things since free internet porn:nod:

hobbico rebadges a 5955, Not a 7955


Since when does hitec have a long wait period ?

Maybe it was an isolated thing, but I've had 2 in the past that have taken unusually long to return.

Not the norm....Something must have come up.:nod:

Fair enough on the Hitec.

Unfortunately Savox has no warranty. I had a 1258TG fail after 2 races and according to Savox website there is no return policy or warranty. If there is one please let me know but this is what I found.
