Like was mentioned in another thread you will find people that love and hate everything.I think any of the name brand servos work and work well.

I dunno what you do with servos, but you sure do fry alot of them.??

Naw that's the first one to be cooked. It was determined (by me) my spektrum one was doa...that decision was made when they took it back right away with no questions asked...shortly after that model was discontinued. The savox one...stripped gears immediately back to back. Had best luck with these hitechs honestly.

You guys are just making me leery about getting hitec servos. Been quite a few shat the bed recently.....

 

[siblues]

I would buy the HiTec's again they are very well made servos and they have great customer service.They are a bit loud and you have tons of people using them.I have heard horror stories about Savox servos and you stand by them so I would take your personal first hand opinion over some idiot online?

Guess I'll find out, the hitec is about $40.00 cheaper then a savox atm.

I got 2 savoxs in one rig and 5 hitecs in others been happy with both.... I got no reason not to buy either one again at this point.....thanks for all the insight

Hey @Seandonato73 when I bought all 3 for my tlr 5b....same purchase I was able to use the tower coupons. Saved me damn near $70 maybe more

 

[Seandonato73]

Only getting one for now, once @Haric gets his twin servo mount finished up I'll get another. Just want to get this darn 5ive together and run it.

 

[Jshaff16]

Mhmm that sure sounds nice

Designing the servo mount was the easy part?I’m trying to figure out how to split the drawing so I can machine it in 2 parts. It’s driving me nuts lol

Saweet!!

Wow. I thought it was just bad luck on my part to have the 845 go on me like this, seems I was wrong. Even had it set to the correct 300hz. It caused a hell of a lot of damage all the way back to the reciever melting everything in its path.

crispy fried wires..?.not good ☹

 

[Jshaff16]

Similar here. New switch new servo and the dark soul direct power things

 

[Mack1]

I was wondering about the power cables but thought that I'm only running 2 hitec 845' I would be just about ok. 1 for throttle/brake and 1 for steering. The only thing different i did was use a surface mounted XT60 for a replacement on/off switch, rest of the wiring was cheap compared to a new switch.

 

[Jshaff16]

They're like $18 or $20. Got one for each rig myself. Waiting on another "item" to show up before I put it back together and see what happens.

 

[Mack1]

I will look into it thanks.

I had a spektrum S9120BL on my k8 and it was a nasty servo. @1450oz no problem turning those wheels pro line badlands.

at $230 is little expensive but is worth it. You also get a nice warranty through horrizon.

Used to run s9020 and 9010 on my dbxl...noisy but damn powerful
