HH Servo

[meatmonkey]

Someone mentioned an old JR servo that had the "twitches". I too had a few of them, and a really old Futaba as well.

All three were fixed by taking the servo apart and thoroughly flushing the potentiometer with plastic safe electrical cleaner, I use the CRC brand. I was amazed it worked on the first one, so I had to try the other two. It may not work if your potentiometer is extremely worn out.

I will try this. Thanks for the advise. "thumbsup"

I love that CRC plastic safe electrical cleaner!

Tried doing some more durability testing on this servo for you guys.
Wound up finally snapping a front output on the trans. :x
Servo's doin' fine, though. "thumbsup"

Glad to hear that.............. Not about your output of course

I.got about 25-30 minutes in on my new servo this weekend, ran flawless and compared to balmy old hitec 645 it was crazy powerful

Just put 2 2200mah packs through this servo and the noise is gone, servo runs perfectly.

Got a chance to thrash on my servo this weekend, she ran flawless all day and was just awesome.

Mine just came in yesterday, I was planning to use it on a project im working on (a 1/6 jeep) but I had the idea of replacing the Savox ( SA-1283SG ) in my SCX10.

The Savox has served me well, 416oz @ 6volts - and the HH is 418 @ 7.4V

and the speed on both servos is pretty much neck and neck, so my question is : is the xtra voltage really worth it? I mostly run my rig at G6's, 6-7 hours at a time- over a lot of sierra nevada granite.

What are the advantages of the xtra voltage?

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

If you don't need more speed or torque, then there isn't a need to run extra voltage.



We ran through the first batch before the second run is done. We have plenty of gears and parts here for warranty service though. I won't be on RCC for a while, so if you have servo issues please contact us directly.

Well I am now going to retract the kudos I gave this servo, it is now craptastic in my eyes

I just ordered Version 2 Holmes Hobbies LLC

I hope I have better results.:shock:

I just ordered one of v2 for myself.

 

[cybertech]

I currently have v1 for about 6 months now and have not had any issues with it. running at 7.4v

 

[winnerone23]

I had one of my V1 screw up but the other is still working.

V2 in the mail..

Well I am now going to retract the kudos I gave this servo, it is now craptastic in my eyes, I picked up two of them and now both are dead and neither have more then 2 hours of use, one at 7.4v and one 6.0v, one I bought straight from holmes hobbies and the second I bought new never used on here from boostfreak so I can only warranty one, so now I have to buy a new servo in order to run my wraith at our comp next Saturday :evil::twisted:

I'll warranty both. What's they doing?

 

[idaho]

I'll warranty both. What's they doing?

They both are making a high pitched chirping sound and they will just twitch back and forth on their own, the one that I ran at 6v now will not turn at all it just chirps and twitches, the one I ran at 7.4v is now slow in transit and will stall out super easy and will randomly decide not to turn and will just chirp and twitch.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

Sounds like the second gear stripped, we have plenty of gearsets. Send an email to warranty@ with your address and problem

 

[idaho]

Email is sent "thumbsup"

I have two v1's, first one got replaced due to a stripped gear. Still doin fine on 8lb's(wraith)of torture!!! The 2nd one is still on my xr & holding up just fine with prob 25 packs now. I had 7950th on xr & can't really tell difference at all between the two!!! I can't wait to see what the v2 offers with all ti gears,waterproof & more torque...may just be best servo ever if meets those specs with that price. Got v2 on the way!!! Ty HH"thumbsup"

 

[bronc4now]

V2 on the way"thumbsup"
