Sterring Servo

[eartaker]

As of right now i'm using a standard high torque servo (Tower Hobbies TS-70MG Super-Torque 2BB Servo U). It just don't seem to have enough power. Any suggestions?

IF you are looking for a cheaper servo, the Hitec HS-645MG will be a good servo. If you can spend a bit more look at the HS-5645MG, its quicker and has more power. They run about $35 and $50 respectively.

Actually it looks like that servo you have is basically the 645MG, so take a look at the HS-5645MG and possibly the HS-985MG.

If money isn't an option, grab the Hitec 5955. If true overkill is needed, use the 5995 instead (you'll need a 7.2 volt pack and a regulator, and remember to turn down the dual rate).

i run a 200oz airtronics servo. Same as the rock crusher but withought the heat sink. I think i paid 120 for it

hmmm will the 7.2v pack kill my receiver? I was thinking about buying the Futaba 3-ch 75mhz HRS but it requires digital servos how can i tell is mine are digital? and what do you mean by a regulator? (voltage regulator)?

The TS-70 isn't digital. It's just a standard analog servo. It's almost identical to the 645MG, so don't buy that. You won't notice any performance gain at all. I bought one in a pinch and it was just like my 645MG.

I stepped up the 985MG. It's considerably faster and stronger than the 645MG for $70. And it's sealed really well. It has o-rings around the output shaft, where the case seams are and on all 4 screws.

I have made up my mind, I'm switching to the HRS system and i need Digital servos but now I don't know of what kind of servo to get for throttle and my reverse module. I was thinking about the Futaba S9156 Digital Heavy Duty High Torque Servo for steering. what do you think?

 

[flm_savage]

looks great to me. just set the epa's properly so you don't break anything

 

[eartaker]

Oppsie I didn't get that one lol I got this one Hobbico CS-170 Std Digital Ultra Torq 2BB TG Servo U Way more torque that needed, I also picked up the aluminum servo saver arms along with all this

[olds97_lss]

The only questionable items that I wouldn't buy are the aluminum arms and anything with Integy in it's name as a support piece. They will bend.

 

[eartaker]

hmm if they bend I will buy better ones. gives me a reason to tell the wife as i order the broken piece + much more lol
