New Turnigy Titanium HV Servos
 

Has anyone tried these yet? I am tempted to get one, but I have some reservations. On one hand $60 for a titanium gear servo sounds awesome. On the other hand by the time I pay for shipping it might be better to spend a few more bucks and go with a Hitec.

There are a few models in the titanium HV line-up, this is the one I am interested in: http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store..._.118sec_/_78g

Looks good on paper. There is only one way to find out if they're worth it.




Buy one and be the guinea pig :intello::intello::whistle:.

Hmmm no discount for members??? :neutral:

Just ordered one. I'll report back when it gets here. They look promising though.

Definitely post up on it. I'm interested as well!

They do look promising

Who's going to try the 3S capable servo?

Which are you talking about?

this one: http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store..._.030sec_/_79g

Speed of it seems nice, but the torque isn't nearly enough for anything large not to mention I don't see how you would run that much voltage? It would fry the RX well before 12V I would think.

you run the power wires direct to a battery and only the signal wire to the RX.

Yea, thats what I thought, but I don't think that would really be my choice to be honest. Seems like it could potentially complicate things quite a bit.

yeah, I prefer the simpler standard approach. It comes from the crawler world where power is king, which really makes me scratch my head at the low torque high voltage unit. Bragging rights maybe?

I dunno, but that speed is RIDICULOUS fast...

This one: http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store...idproduct=9981.

That fast one would be absolutely awesome in a heli or in a nitro R/C to try and keep up with a brushless. They need fast throttle :rofl:.

Edit: You could run 2S lipos with it as well.

Would would you just use 2 separate pack, 1 3s for the servo and 1 Rx pack for the Receiver?

Does seem like some complicated wiring! I'll be ordering a lipo soon,I may pick one of these up as well.

I have yet to order anything from HC and don't intend to start anytime soon. I'll keep ordering from companies here in the US so when I have a problem I don't have to pay $30+ to ship it back. You can get lipos from Neu at about the same cost as HC, and for a servo you can get the Tower packaged Hitec 7955 ( don't know the Tower model #) for $90 before a discount

You can buy hardcase LiPos for less than $30 from Neu? I doubt it...:whistle:

Maybe not a hardcase but I don't have any use for a hardcase, a 5s 5000mah from HC with shipping was gonna cost about $100, dropping down to 4s this year but going up to 5500mah from Neu and with shipping cost me $84

Ordering from HC has always been something I've gone back and forth on. That was my main reservation on trying the new servo. I had some points to redeem at HC so the servo came to $62 shipped. The two main questions are (a) will the quality be there at least close to a Hitec, and (b) will the $30 savings be worth it if the servo dies and I have more of a hassle dealing with warranty and support. Will have to wait and see.

Embrace the global economy- half the stuff we buy these days is made in china or korea etc etc; especially electrical goods, and batteries in particular. Just because its got an American flag on the box dont make American- look at MA lipos for example; chinese cells imported to the USA to be assembled into packs = massive price mark up. :yes:

I'm thinking of ordering one of these:
Turnigy HV-767 Digital HV-2S Servo 31kg/ .118sec / 78g
But they didn't state which servo horns they use. Airtronics, JR, Futaba, etc?

I would guess Futaba. The HV-767 is the one I ordered so I'll let you know when it arrives.

It's not a good idea to simply run a HV servo directly plugged into the receiver?

Does anyone know the max voltage of a futaba 3PM reciever?

It says lipo with regulator so it probably doesn't take 8V.

I know Spektrum receivers can handle up to about 9-9.5V so the voltage isn't a problem. Not sure on other brands. Maybe if the servo was drawing too much current it could cause problems, but that could happen at lower voltages also.

I had used a 2S lipo without a regulator on my predator maxx and race revo which uses the 3PM rx and Hitec 5955TG servo. All the components are still working though they don't get as much attention compared to my flashlights :lol::lol:.

I will be using the Spektrum SR3300T receiver along with the Turnigy servo. Hopefully it'll not cause any problems.

Anyone received theirs yet?

Not me, Feb 20th I got the "Checker Robot" message saying my order was packed and sent to shipping dispatch. I didn't pay for the EMS express this time like I usually do. Hopefully now that the holidays have passed Hong Kong Post won't be so slow on standard shipping. I really want to get the servo to test out, but I won't be able to run my truggy until April/May anyway I guess there's no rush.

I doubt you'll get it soon, Chinese New Year is ending tonight, and all the factories and warehouses are opening up again tomorrow morning, so they have tons of orders to fill :O

It depends, if you have all HV servo's (or, like me, just have 1 servo - the steering servo) you can just run more voltage through your RX.

The Spektrum SR3500 receiver I used in my CRT.5 and Mini E-Revo are rated to 9V while the "Pro SR3001" in my G2R is rated to 9.6V.

The Castle Link allows you to adjust as high as a 9V output, so you could put it right there on the edge.

Personally I'd just stick with a Hitec servo. Cause for the most part if you want to get the full advantage out of those HV servo's, you'll be complicating things by getting separate 3S receiver packs and what not, you'd be better off spending the extra money on the right Hitec servo that outputs almost the same torque on just 6V.

If a receiver is rated to be able to take up to 9.6v, what does tht mean?

Well, typically you have RX power input into the receiver, and then your servos plug into the receiver and the receiver passes power through to the servos and also takes a little bit of power for itself to run.

If you put too much voltage into the receiver you fry it.

If your servo can take 12V but your receiver can take only 6v, you can feed a 6v input to the receiver and a 12V source to the servo directly, hooking up the servo's signal wire to the receiver.

Castle BEC at 7.4V into SR3100(rated at 9V) and a HV servo plugged in. Is this correct? (and eliminating the wire at the ESC)

Here's the manufacturer page:

http://www.mks-servo.com.tw/goods.ph...s_id=HV%20787P

Would it matter if my ESC has its Current Limiter set on No Limit and I power it thru my RX which is rated to take max 9.6v?

No one has gotten this yet?

I just got mine today. Seems very solid. The main body of the servo and the top case (part with the mounting ears) are both aluminum. The only plastic is the bottom cap.

Will test out later tonight.

It's morning here and still no review.:mdr:
