Default programming a servo

I just bought a hs7955tg from the for sale section and was reading that you can set up different parameters. Only thing is the programmer is huge coin for something that ill likely use once or twice.http://www.hitecrcd.com/servos/show?name=HFP-20

So is it crucial to set this up? can i just run it the way it is? or is the any other way to set it up?

Thanks

Your servo is ready to go!

If you want to change settings, you could get one of these: HPP-21

The overload protection is a nice feature for crawlers.

X2 on the overload protection. And yes the hpp-21 is the programmer I have and its only 24 bucks. Its nice to have. It runs off usb to your PC the other one you listed is stand alone but not worth it.

yeah you dont need one, but if you want the overload than you can grab it , but you should never have to worry about it, ive never had an issue like that before but could be worth checking out and having just incase

The programmer also allows you to adjust the resolution. An easy way to get more travel, if you need it, without losing torque by fitting a longer servo arm.

The HPP-21 programmer will also test all makes of servo, both analogue and digital.
