SERVO QUESTION:
I'm sure I'm re-hashing an old subject from somewhere in these 24k pages of Tamiya mini talk, but what's everyone's take on servos? I've got old JR Z590M servos in the M-03 and M-05. The one in the M-03 doesn't seem to be centering all that well and it may be time to upgrade. While I personally think the Z590M is adequate for these cars, I'm wondering what everyone else is using. I'm using faster, smoother servos in my touring cars (Futaba S9551 and S9452). Should I consider faster servos in the minis?
The servo choice will be to a certain extent determined by your transmitter. That is, if you have the capability to adjust the servo speed, your best choice would be different than if you could not adjust your servo speed.
Agreed 100% to this last statement.
I use a Futaba 4px transmitter and a Futaba S9551 digital servo in all my vehicles. Futaba has never failed me, I love all of their products. The S9551 is a very nice servo in my opinion especially paired w/ a Futaba controller (like the 4px).
