|  Hitec 5995 bottom axial mounting hole? Well I got my 5995s in the mail the other day. The servos come with a different bottom cover on them - the paperwork says it is a bottom axial mounting hole? There is also a regular style bottom in the box. Does anyone know how to use this mount? Should I just change out the bottom for the regualr one? Can I run it with the axial mount bottom on it, but not mount anything to it? I havent heard about this mount before, and was wondering what everybody else did about it. |

| I just received mine today, and the paperwork says to change the plate if you are not using the axial mount, but don't touch the board inside.  |

| It is just a additional mounting spot to be used in conjunction with the tabs because those servos have so much torque and rotate so far. You will be fine with out using it, just make sure to set your endpoints or you may burn up that servo or break the mounting tabs off. Devlin |

| Why wouldn't you just get the 5955TG? It's the exact same as the 5995 except that it's programmed to turn 90 degrees (instead of 180 degrees) to be more suitable for steering in trucks, and it has a heatsink which is much more useful as far as planes and trucks go than the pivot. THe robot is almost entirely for robots since I all RC never uses the pivot anyways and would probably prefer the heatsink. |

| It was a tough decision for me between the 5995 and the 5955. I like the heatsink on the 5955, and the two are probably the same internally. But Hitec rates the 5995 for use up to 7.4V, and 416oz I figured if I ran the 5955 at 7.4V and it burned up, Hitec wouldnt warranty it, but they would the 5995. The extra rotation of the 5995 is useless, but I can dial it out with EPA adjustments - so it shouldnt be a problem. |

| Actually they use the same voltage. They are also indeed identical in side (Hitec says so itself). Notice that for the 5995 they list 6V and 7.4V specs, but for the 5955 they list 4.8 and 6. The specs at 6V are the same. It's more of a marketing thing so robot builders see it and don't get a second thought. |
