Hitec 7955TG V2 ?

[OfnaJoe]

Is it any difference between the Hitec 7955TG V2 from the older one or just new packaging ?
Thanks Joe

Absolutely no clue, did you look on the HiTec site?
I have a 7955 that is almost a year old.

[OfnaJoe]

Yea, the site just shows the V1, no mention of a V2

[Charlie-III]

A Google search didn't show anything either. It does talk about "G2", but that is the change from the 5955 to the 7955. Shrug....

Where did you see a reference to a 7955 V2??

[OfnaJoe]

Ebay, It said newest packaging and specs. It all looks the same, specs and all. Just don't want to buy and then find it'd better.
Thanks for the replies

Dont quote me on this, but I bought the Generation 2 sample
for my foff build not long ago and recall reading that the G2 can be programmed with their digital servo programmers and the V1/G1
either could not(?), or that the G2 just had many more program options.

Something along those lines anyway....

Ok, the new G2 board has twice the resolution of the G1/V1,
and programmable overload protection, so I was in the ball park...

Hope that helps.

That's the V1 with the updated G2 board, they have been around for awhile. I'm thinking the V2 is just new packing. Here it is:

It is my belief that what they are calling the V2 is in fact the G2.
(version 2/generation 2)

Putting the new board in the old servo is what makes it a V2/G2

Thats the packaging my G2 came in as a matter of fact.
I bought my servo back around July of this year.

Consider this, they wrote:

"Updated retail package = most updated spec!"

I mean come on!!! thats total BS.

They are using words like NEW, UPDATED, V2 and LATEST VERSION
to try and push a sale. Who knows how long ago they wrote that description?

Like I said, got mine some six months ago from Tower hobbies
and thats the exact packaging it came in.

And if Hitec updated the servo again, dont ya think it would be a point
they would make easy to find on their site to boost their own brand/sale potential?

From what I can see, it's no different than what we buy, it may be a Hong Kong packaging, nothing new.

The 5955 was the V1, basically the update to the 7955 was the different board (aka G2).
From what I can see.......

just curious, do the 5955's have the motor leads soldered directly to the board like the 7955's?

No clue, I would have to guess YES though. Servo's are all pretty much the same, especially within a brand (like HiTec). Materials may be different, but the rest is very similar.
Besides, doing a plug inside a servo is tough.

Why do you ask?? Thinking of reversing a servo??

While this is up: does anyone have the part number for a gearset for the 7955?

And can anyone tell me if the gears included in Hitec part #55326, which is intended for Hitec HS-7940/7945/7950TH will replace the smallest gear in a 7954SH? I have two 7954's with stripped gears that appears to be the same gear included in the afformentioned part number, so I'd hate to spend $80 on two gearsets when all the need is the smaller gear.

i was just curious if the 5955's had the 'old school' board design that connects the motor to the board with wires. theyd be a much more newbie friendly high power winch servo to modify with a heyok no creep.

ive modded a couple 7955's with the heyok no creeps. its not difficult if you have desolder braid or a bulb to get the board removed since the motor leads connect directly to it.
