Installed 4 of the 5 I ordered. Drove 3 of the rigs in my back yard to get trim levels correct. These are leaps and bounds quieter than the Hitec 7955, 7954, 7950s they replaced. Granted I didn't mess with the dead band on the Hitecs so maybe they could be less noisy. Ridiculously fast, love that they use m3 screws instead of that m2.6 hitec did. Now I can use the same hardware on my rig as my servo should I need to replace one on the trail instead of hoping I still have a m2.6 somewhere in my trail hardware pack. Sounds good Capwn...hope the tool works out for you. At this point I haven't really used it for my trail rigs since I have plenty of space to hide things. Don't own any comp crawlers either. They did wonders when we were trying to minimize weight on our hex-copter drone by eliminating unnecessary wire lengths. Also gotta understand HH is representing his company and is talking to a lot of people of varying skill levels. I'm sure he's been burned in the past when someone without the skill level to properly work on electronics decided to try something and somehow blame it on the product or something they read here that was "ok" to do. So he's gotta put a disclaimer or not advise things in a public forum to minimize/eliminate avoidable product failures. Just the way it is. Don't think he was attempting to belittle or be condescending. Last edited by Shinjari; 08-09-2016 at 07:03 PM. |

I'm not putting on kid gloves to detail my recommendations against ruining a servo. I want this to be a strong (snarky) response so people have no doubts about what I say. Don't solder inside the servo. Crimp on new connectors or cut and splice the wires shorter if needed. I still have nothing more to say, because I have nothing of value to add in regards to shortening a wire. Quote:
When comparing the the HV500, testing has shown that the SHV500 runs much cooler while performing better. My HV would normally be 120f to 130f after a long session in 100 degree weather, wheras I haven't been able to detect any heat past ambient on the SHV. That is the power of higher voltage and lower KV motors in a servo | ||

| Re: SHV500 12v servo- you don't need a BEC! Many thanks! Glad you like them! At first I had a lot of doubts on whether folks would take a risk and try something so different. But the servo performance speaks for itself, I couldn't ignore how well my prototypes worked. I had to bring this to market for others to enjoy too, and it is good to see positive feedback Thanks Nate! We have nowhere to go but upwards from here! |

Just got this servo and I love it. Completely silent. And the idea of direct power and no BEC just makes a lot of sense to me. I have had HH ESCs and motors (brushed and brushless) for years and love them. When the SHV500 came out, I was just waiting for a reason to get it. Five packs in and running strong.

Got our Bomber finally built and installed. This servo is fast. Silent and fast. Soldering the lead wires to the battery plug was a bit tricky, but I'm normally up for a challenge. Not having the extra BEC to deal with was worth it. JRH- The PP540 3500 is fast too. ~Fast~! Love the ability to tune the ESC with the Castle Link though. 50% throttle for kids? No problem. |

I know it kinda defects the purpose of the servo, but if your running 4s, couldn't you put a bec straight to the servo set at the 16v it can handle?

Hallo John any news about possibility to program the servo ? I mean I need little bit more working angle.... Thanks a lot Marco |

So far the ones with 16v internals have held up rather well. Quite a few people are unofficially running 4s. The current and previous inventory is all 16v power caps. the next batch will be all 25v+. Same for the HV. It will be revamped to run 2s and 3s direct Quote:
working with the factory on that still. Previously they weren't willing, they wanted us to write our own code from scratch. I have warmed them up for some trades of labor though, they provide basic code and we are writing a "windows" program to modify the code and inject it back into the servo. It will take some time yet. You could always use a slightly longer servo horn to gain some travel without increasing throw angle. | |||

Sounds like I am going to wait for your next batch as I tend to run 2s and 3s on my trail rigs. I assume the SHV500 is going to be the same as the HV in regards to allowing 2s?? Also, any time frame?? My darn Hitec 7950th had to go in for warranty because it stopped working. Would honestly most likely prefer an SHV500 as I hear they have a lot less chatter than this thing and just save the 7950th for a backup or something. |

two to three months, we are just now starting production on the next batch. The SHV will be tuned for 3s and 4s. 2s will work, but the rates will be very very slow. |

| Re: SHV500 12v servo- you don't need a BEC! Gotcha, appreciate the quick response there. Looks like I may be going HV than as 2s and 3s are my main uses, unless of course I go nutty with my scx10-ii running the 2700kv stubby. |

Hallo Shinjari Is the link u posted ref to a good tool? Does it do the job for both male and female connectors? Sorry if the question is stupid but I am not familiar with this tool and I would love to clean and tide up my wiring... Thanks a lot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro | |

They all do the same job. Yes they do both female and male.
