cheap servo?
 

i am looking for a chepo durable high tourq servo? any recomendations?"thumbsup"

Re: cheap servo?
 

Solar d772 is probably best price/oz durable.... I dont know. I run hitec, jr, futaba and just grabbed a few 500oz savox with good luck so far

Re: cheap servo?
 

I'm running a Solar D772 on my Ridgecrest with a 5A BEC on 6V. Seems to work pretty good, although I think the specs are a bit over rated (see the reviews on the Hobbypartz site). Haven't had a problem with it yet.

Re: cheap servo?
 

i run a few of the solars, for 18 bucks, there not bad

Re: cheap servo?
 

what rig are you running it in? the hitec 645 or 5645 are about 30 bucks and about 130 -170 oz of torque.

Re: cheap servo?
 

I've got a HobbyKing servo on the way, based on the specs its rated at 430oz/in @ 7.4v. Once it gets here I'll post up about it.

+1 on the solar D772 its a great deal for the price, i just ordered three more and they arrived yesturday

Re: cheap servo?
 

Which one you have gotten, I received 2 turnigy TRY-1268HV and TRY-1267HV, both shuttered and I have asked for return already. Will try the bluebird one next time. I seems to have bad luck with Turnigy servo, bluebird has been good.

Re: cheap servo?
 

i had one of these, the gears strip easy. dont remember what model it was, it was a orange HV servo though

Re: cheap servo?
 

I almost ordered the TRY-1269HV, but I didn't think it would be enough. LOL

Here's what I ordered. I plan on pulling it apart to inspect everything before I run it.

Mi Digital HV High Torque Metal Gear Servo 31kg / 0.15 / 60g

Re: cheap servo?
 

I had seen a conversations that the hobbyking had very common failure of bending the pins. Hope you have better luck cause the specs are there for sure!

Re: cheap servo?
 

thats not the one i had.i had a orange case one

Re: cheap servo?
 

Worst case, I'll see if Gunnar can make me some replacements. "thumbsup"

Re: cheap servo?
 

Well, just an update, I apologize to anyone that has ordered any of these, I blew out the main gears in 3 of these this afternoon. The specs say the geartrain is Ti-Aluminum Alloy. Looks like everything is Ti other than the main gear. Seems as the overall diameter of the main gear is a touch small, there's too much backlash. The servo is nice and strong, plenty strong enough to roll the main gear's teeth over with ease. GRRR... I'm hoping to find a suitable replacement set. I'll update here if I find something.

Get the turnigy 1501 from hobby king very strong only $12 and I have had the same in my trucks for over a year no problems! I believe 230oz .12 speed at 6 volts

Re: cheap servo?
 

Running the D772 here powered right off the lipo. Never wanted 'more' servo while using it.

Re: cheap servo?
 

get the best you can afford , going cheap isn't allways the best choice

[good post, edited a little bit]

"Good" sorta depends on what rig & what use.

What is good in a 1.9 for fun/trail runs is NOT good for a Super in comps.

Fun/trail rigs and lighter scale rigs can get away with servos under 200inoz, 1.9 comp rigs are looking for ~200inoz+ and 2.2 comp rigs are looking at 300inoz+ and an external BEC.

So, a statement of, "I want a cheap servo" is sorta useless.
Is a $10 servo that dies in the first run worth it?? [likely - no]
On the other hand, is a $180 servo in a 1.9 trail rig worth it? [likely no, unless you have money to burn]

Re: cheap servo?
 

i've been lucky with cheap HK servos. For the price their tough to beat honestly ...
