goblin 380

[tomola]

so ive pre ordered the green and carbon goblin 380 from fast lads, ive just picked up a talon 90 esc with 20 bec for it and ive already got 3 savox sh 0255 micro servo's, im assuming the bec in the talon can power an these servos are they good enough for the goblin 380? and i was looking at the savox sh-1257 for the tail any advise on that?
thanks
tom

That'll be two 380s at the field then, when you get it. Someone turned up with a yellow one yesterday.

Talon is total overkill (Hobbywing 50A would do more than good enough) but will work, even if it is on the heavy side. Servos will be fine, and there should be no chance of over loading the Talon's BEC.

Tail servo. The one you mention will work. It's basically the same as an Align DS520 that used to ship with 450s and 500s. Make sure you get the 1257MG and no TG as the TG is a full size servo.

Yea I picked up the talon for a good price, can always change it if I need to, I got a bit excited when I saw the 380 and just went firit ha. I wish I'd been able to come down yesterday but I was off reading in my landy in Leicester. I'll get that tail servo and just need a motor and fbl now
thanks fir the advice always helpful darren

Talon is perfect for the 380, the better bec is the main advantage. I took all the plastic crap off my esc and it made it easier to fit. Im running the same servos in mine and they are brilliant! I beat the crap outta mine and just love it!!

Just for info the Hobbywing I wouldnt recommend in a 380, mainly due to SAB recommending bigger capacity esc's and especially if your really hammering on it, with a bif motor like the Xnova Tareq, your gonna run into thermal shutdown really quick.

Battery wise, 1800's will work fine HOWEVER i feel its TOO light for the disc loading and flies a bit crap. I run 2700's in mine and its still as agile as a Gnat with rabies, and I get 5 mins flying as hard as I can, where as with 1800's I get 3 mins and it flies crap.

If you need any help just PM me ive about 100 flights on mine now (put 12 on it today!) and I think ive ironed out all the kinks on mine LOL
