Thread: whats the best tail servo on the market

hi all i need a new servo for the tail on my 550 as my bls 251 is acting up so whats your recomendations,
dont care how much it is, whats the best servo on todays market
thanks adamf

Was going to get a set of the outrage servos for my x7 build before I ran out of money so I had to go with align. Why not try the HV Outrage tail servo BL9188. Your Jive should be able to punch out 6v to give you .045/60deg on the servo.

BL 9188 Outrage TORQ High Voltage Brushless Digital Tail Servo

The MKS 990 is supposed to be another very good tail servo.

hadent thought of that to be honest, thanks pal

its all i'll use dude, futaba servo all the way, fusion has jr8915s till i got the cash to change them that is

On my flying fleet, I have....

1 x Futaba 9256 servo with Futaba GY611 gyro
1 x Futaba 9256 servo with Spartan DS760 gyro
1 x Futaba 9251 servo with Spartan DS760 gyro
1 x JR 8700G servo with Spartan DS760 gyro
1 x JR 8900G servo with Spartan DS760 gyro

In forwards flight, I can't tell the difference between any of the servos. In the hover, the Futaba GY611 drifts all over the place compared to the Spartans, but I don't think that's the servo's fault.

I think the gyro is more important than the servo. The servo will only do what the gyro tells it to do.

bls251 has always worked flawlessly for me

the outrage servos are very nice, big bling

I tried most of the 'top end' ones, BLS251, BLS254, 9256, Jr8900, MKS990, Outrage 9188 and can't really tell much off a difference between them all but my tail servo of choice used to be the BLS254 but now all I seem to be buying are Outrage.

Won't go wrong with any of them I don't think


But as said send it back to rip max to see what they can do. I just got 2 BLS254's back from them all repaired
