Best servo for a GY401

[chipbury]

Hello,

I have two helicopters a T Rex XL and an old Robbe Moskito Basic.

At the moment i am using a GY401 Gyro on the T Rex with a miniture Hitec servo (i think it is an HS50 but can't be definite as i am away at sea at the moment).
The Moskito currently has a non heading hold Gyro that i have been told is pretty **** with an old Futaba servo that is very slow.

I am going to buy a GY401 to fit to the Moskito as this will give me some much needed control.

My question is (after a bit of waffle) i would like to buy digital servos for both tails. Is there one that will suit both so i can swap if i wreck one? If not which would be the best one for each individual tail.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

PS Sorry if this should be in a different forum!

in a rex the 9650 is the nuts and for any thing bigger a 9254 is the way to go.
hope this helps

Dunno about the elecky Trex stuff, but ditto chipbury regarding the 9254 for the Moskito.

If you can't afford the 9650 for the Trex, then the HDS-577 is possibly the next best and is much cheaper.

Hi Chaps,

Thanks for the replies.

I will definately get the 9254 for the Moskito as i will buy it as a package with the GY401.

Regarding the T Rex is either of the servos more robust (9650/HDS577) as on two occaisions on crashing i have damaged the hitec servo gears? Both times i just replaced the broken bits and off it went again, will it be easier to overhaul one the two choices. I don't mind buying the 9650 if it gives the best handling but if i am going to wreck it fairly easily i might go for the MDS577.
On a side note will the T Rex handle the digital servo ok using the normal ESC output to the servos?

Both the 9650 and the HDS-577 are digital servos and are fine on the Trex.
If you can afford it, get the 9650 - no contest.

Cheers,
Rob
