is 7940 the only one out of the high voltage servos that's having issues?

from what i've been hearing it is, on the flip side, you have a great company and a great warranty backing you with those servos, so if the 7940 does turn out to be a dudd(I just bought two of them, so hopefully not) you can send it back for a new one, I've got a couple weeks of racing ahead with them in my cars for throttle, I'll report back, If I dont like them, Its back to the bls451 for me

you will love these servos , guaranteed

i usually tend to error on the safe side so finishing the race is not the problem thats why i would choose the 7950 over the 7940 personally

you use the 7950 on the throttle?

see that is a touch slow for me, I actually got quite used to those brushless servos cause they switch from open to close very quickly and are more responsive compared to the hitec brushed servos. I'm going to get a programmer and see if I can tune the servos to where I like, it seems like they are a bit slow and too twitchy for me just yet


I didnt check while I was out there, was adam using the 7940 on throttle and steering in his buggy?

yeah. adams buggy is 7940 throttle and steering. truggy is 7940 throttle, 7950 steering

I Wonder what the Difference is From the 5955/7955 gear set VS the 7940/50

I think ill ask Mike to chime in here to clear something's up.

yes but do you have any idea how hard it is to tell what servo is what when you look at their cars and all the labels are taken off


the 7950 unregulated at 7.2v is plenty fast enough . if you are using a regulator or a ni-mh pack anything feels slow in comparison

is the throttle servo getting notchy, or just the steering, cause I wouldnt imagine the 7940 on throttle would wear out soon.

curious why you think it would wear out ?

houston said it was notchy on drakes car, to me notchy means worn out

come to think of it it was the steering servo on most of the servos that i have felt with problems. the ones that were on the throttle and notchy were probably from the steering possibly.

either way , hitec servos are the best package on the market.

we shall see. i got 2 7940's on the way.

I'm down with that, I'm just glad I dont have any more JR servos in my posession.....

IMO Hitec's always feel like that(kinda notchy and stiff to turn over.....when you manually turn them over they have an almost clicking sound...or at least all my 5955's and couple 7955's i got do....GRANTED they aren't the 40's but they are the same gear's(essentially) just geared differently i would figure....so a rough feel means nothing really, its what it feels like when its energized that counts....i find it hard to believe if the gear's themselves are failing...but hey ANYthing is possible if you look at it from the right perspective.

**(What do you mean i cant Jump off a bridge and my car NOT explode into a Million pieces....I WANT WARRANTY This is BS)**

I remember you repping them a while back....aren't you glad you came to the "dark side"
