servos

[kevinh]

i was with ade last weekend, and he said i should change my collective servo to a s3152 digital servo,

just wondering what i should the rest of the servos be, on the tail i already a futaba 9254 servo,


btw i havent got deep pockets i was thinking off 3151,s digital servos

any thoughts?

[Oli]

the 3152's are only £5 more per servo for an extra 2kg/cm of torque. I would shell out that little bit more for such a big difference imo.

[Tripler]

Changed all mine a while back to s3152's, (9254 on tail) Totaly transformed the heli,,

[Mercuriell]

Do the 3152's run OK on 6V from or should they go on 5V (thinking about changing the 3000's on my TREX600 which has a 6V BEC) ?

[Ade_Law]

3152 arent really the problem its the tail servos that dont like it.

The TREX600 BEC comes with a down regulator lead to 5.1V for the 9254 tail servo so not a problem there

But you never said that before Ade replied.

Not concerned about the tail servo - fairly common knowledge that the 9254's have a shortened life span at 6V. However there is ambiguity about some of the other Futaba servos eg the 3252 - the website gives specs for these at 4.8 and 6V http://www.futabarc.com/servos/digitalservos.html but on the servo box it only gives specs at 4.8V hence my enquiry about their use at 6V and my appreciation of Ade's practical experience

[kevinh]

servos as they stand at the moment


tail= 9254
collective= 3152
aileron= 3152
elevator= 3152
throttle=3001

when the weather improves i take it out and hopefully see some difference in the raptor.
