It produces a torque of about 400oz.inch and a speed of 0.12s.
Should I keep it until it dies or would I benefit from upgrading ?
I was looking at servos around 0.09s for a 250-300oz.inch thinking of the savox 1267sg
Or even should I go banana and get the 2284sg at 0.65s for the same torque ? I like the aluminium case as the Hitec's is getting pretty beaten up where you screw it to the chassis... (direct mount though as I lost the rubber pads a long time ago).
thanks
Specs are good enough at 7.4v...I'd run it
Wouldn't hurt to get a spare as a backup. But at 2 years old, if it isn't giving you problems. Or upgrade to one with better specs, and keep the hitec as your backup....I'm kinda a backup nazi...I hate not having spares.
