Help Pick Me Out A Servo

[Fx]

I trashed my steering servo at the RC Jam, so I need a new one.

Which one....

choose the second one. because it's better / and cuz you can afford it.

the 5995tg is an awsome servo. if you break it then something must be up!

its super fast and soo powerful. if you can spend little bit extra to get it the 5945 doesnt even compare to it

 

[DOOBEEWHA]

You tell'em, Poly!

 

[polystyrene]

? i'll not take that as sarcasm

i run both in my Team Magic M1B, the 5995 in steering and the 5945 in throttle break. the 5995tg can actually be a little too quick on the turning but it will turn the wheels of a monster truck when at stand still with ease

another make to look at is Ace servo's. alot of people out there are not fans of Hitec and swear by Ace servos

Thanks poly, I'll go with the 5995tg. Obviously it will be going into a 13 pound savy so the speed and power is needed. I actually had my servo saver very tight with the intention of breaking my 645mg (so not enough power).

 

[DOOBEEWHA]

I was just agreeing with you , polyS

 

[Fx]

Alright one last question, is it okay to tighten my servo saver all the way down with the 5995t?

 

[polystyrene]

i would tighten it a bit more than with any other sevo, but not fully. maybe slacken slightly

 

[Fx]

Cool once more thanks poly, you've been a big help.

 

[arisking]

Yeah if you tighten it down all the way then the shock of a harsh landing on the wheels will be sent straight into the servo, so loosen it up.

the tg bloody awsome but i just use a 5985 programable and never yet been able to break one i use them from everything

I like these servos, http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_61_100/products_id/12617

400+ OZ/IN is silly!

400+ OZ/IN is silly!

those look really nice. more powerful than the hitec servo but not quite asfast. don't know if any body could notice a .02 second difference though with the naked eye. :motorcycle:

 

[Defiantspaz]

I don't have those 400 oz/in servo's, a bit of overkill.

I have this for my throttle/brake http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_61_100/products_id/3628

and this for my stearing http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_61_100/products_id/3826

The best part about JR servo's is they have a 3 years warranty.

 

[faisalbasha]

i have a DS8611 servo from JR on my savage with the BIG JOE tires and I'm telling you that servo is so strong it will still turn the wheels with me standing on them.

you cannot go wrong with a digital servo like that BUT it will cost you around 120-140

 

[faisalbasha]

over 100 for sure

[whipnet]

Best value out there for a digital metal gear servo. Almost 200oz too.
