Power HD B5 HV servo

[Panther6834]

Thought I'd "chime in" with a quick comment. I have several PowerHD servos, in everything from boats, to 1/10 race vehicles, to larger bashers (such as my X-MAXX), and they have ALL proven themselves to be excellent. I've never had any problems with any of them. Although a couple are being run at 6V, and a few are running at 8.4V, most are running on 7.4V. Yes, there are 'better' servos, and there are also 'more expensive' servos...but, if you're looking for the best you can get for the most-reasonable price (known as the "Best Bang for the Buck"), I'd say that PowerHD servos are one of 2 (maybe 3) brands that perfectly fit into that category...and, of those three (I won't mention who the other two are), PowerHD is what you'll find me owning the most of (thus the reason I don't feel the need to mention who the other two are).

Love my Power HD servos. All my rigs have em. I put a GTS-5 Pro (low profile) in my Talion. I save all the fancy cases too

Dude Where can I get that linkage from!?!?

Dude Where can I get that linkage from!?!?

I made it from those aluminum rod ends & a piece of delrin tubing. Both rod ends are RH & cut a really long SHCS down for a threaded rod. It's non adjustable unless I change the center delrin piece.

RH & cut a really long SHCS

Translation? Not sure what the initialism mean.

RH = right hand as in right hand thread
SHCS = socket head cap screw

That makes sense. I was thinking RH was Rabbit Hole and SHCS was Supremely Handy, Comically Secure, but that didn't make any sense.

Sounds like you use the screw for thread stock, cut off the head?

What are the rod ends, Amazon?

Yes- I used a long M4 SHCS & cut the head off. Kept trimming it until I got the eye to eye length I wanted, fit the truck. I machined several different lengths of the center delrin tube, maybe 1mm or 0.5mm differences, & tired a few combinations until it was just right. Had to have the center pc just the right length to get full torque down on the M4 rod ends/threaded rod & tight against the center & both eyes phased in line flat. Loctite & done.
