Installed in my yeti, waiting on Bell cranks from VP now. Also have to get a aluminum servo horn.

Awesome, your impressions dude? I haven't had a real hard test on it but so far it's been amazingly smooth quiet and powerful in my wraith. How does it perform in the Yeti?
Haven't had a chance to test. Waiting on VP bell crank. The servo saver is so soft the front wheels don't return to center. I will. Probably lock the saver till the Bell cranks come. I will report after some testing. Like all the other first impressions its really smooth and quiet, and well made.
 
Way to slander a well respected name all the while looking like you're riding this company's jock.

Especially all but a day after you got the thing. HiTec's track record has a history. Try to at least give this new thing some time before you say things like that maybe.

Fact! Probably 98% of new parts, rigs etc are all the most baddest assest this g to hit the market evar! For a week or so then all the new wears off.

I have have zero to do with HiTec mate. I do know that over the 11 years I've been here , HiTec is top rated, outlasting the likes of Futaba, JR, and all that other stuff. Seems like you got shiny new toy syndrome.

And no HiTec doesn't sponsor this site, so try again.


Right again. I don't even like hitec since I've had terrible luck with their servos but I'm not going to tell anyone they're ripping people off because there are cheaper products out there. That's just dumb.
 
Well after a day of bashing in the yeti I have no complaints. Servo held up to some punishment at a construction site. Rocks, sand, dried mud, concrete. Obviously time will tell if the durability is there but so far so good
 
I've thoroughly mistreated mine this weekend, including about a dozen runs through my mud pit, servo fully submerged, and it hasn't missed a beat. "thumbsup"

You can just make out the servo beneath all the muck it picked up...

Mine handled NAVEX without a hiccup. My own hiccup was my lack of driving skill :)

I have zero complaints so far, but can't make a judgement based on one hard day out.

I've got another brand new one and a set of gears for spares. Don't think I'll need to use them on this rig for a lonnnng time.

I can vouch for the servo. I witnessed Scott's Wraith take many tumbles and no breakages. Seems like a solid product.
 
Thanks bud, I picked up the v3. Will I be ok running my 7.2 6-cell nimh batt w/ a BEC on this servo?
Mate throw that nimh battery in the bin and buy yourself a 2S lipo. Will last longer and be more powerful. If you are running 2S or 7.2v nimh you won't even need a bec with this. The maker suggest powering the servo directly off the battery. If you upgrade to 3S you will need a bec.
 
How quiet is this Servo. Dose it make the constant centering sound like hitec?


No. It is the quietest servo I have ever heard, (or not heard) no electrical sound interference at all. The only sound is the gears, which are quiet compared to most.
 
It's silent and stationary at center and does not hum under load, at least not that I can hear.
