Dx7

[supamansuper]

midlands helicopters are selling a DX7 with four servo.Would these servos be ok for a hirobo shuttle?

If they are the DS821, I have not heard many good words about these. Don't get me wrong, I have no personal experience of them but I've seen several negative posts about them.

Dx7

They have replaced the gears since all the trouble with the snapped shafts occurred..

These servos were not designed for a 50 size nitro, and they are only recommended up to 50 size electrics (I think)..

However, it depends on what you are going to do with the heli.. If you are learning to hover, etc.. They'll be fine IMO.. I had 3 of them on the cyclic of my 600 when I was learning to hover and they took me all the way to learning 8s, stall turns and circuits .. I changed them after that for Align servos, as I started being a bit heavy on the sticks.. did not want to take any chances really, one of these 821s still operates my throttle and I have not had any problems with it..

The choice is yours in the end..

Cheers,

Why not buy just DX7 ?

Inwood Models : DX7 TRANSMITTER (INC 1500 MAH TX NI MH) MODE 2 [RAT9DX72] - £167.50 DX7 on its own for £167.50

Also a plug for Inwoods for good service.

You can also get a DX7 with an Rx & no servos, IIRC.

Depends which Rx you want.

Yes I'd go with Inwoods, generally as good a price as you will get.

You might wish to consider Futaba FF7 2.4 GHz.
