on the eco8 i would ude a 401 with the 9650.

by far the easiest to setup and best perofrmer for the money.

i wouldnt use that servo on the tail of an eco8 (or anything for that matter)...

to get the best from your gyro you need a digital servo with a coreless motor. anything else will be a pain to get setup right and even then not perform very well.

oi
i have got this on the tail of my eco and it works a treat
ok so its not digital and its cheap but i cant afford 60 notes for a 9650 and if you look at the specs the supertech is a damn site faster

Ade if you havent got anything useful to say then

SHUT IT for a change

Cali, I have lots of experience with rubbish servos on helis. can you say the same of good servos on helis?

no offence meant or taken just passing on my experience.

or the best servo for the 401 is Futaba S9257 High Speed Digital Servo

- Specification -
Speed: 0.08 sec/60° (4.8v)
Torque: 2.0 kg-cm (4.8v)
Dimension: 35.5x15.0x28.6 mm
Weight: 26g
Power Supply: 4.8V only

Soon they will be selling this with the 401 as part of the combo

9254 is a bit heavy for the ECO8 and its more expensive. hence suggesting the 9650

oh hang on you said 9257.... not seen that yet?
