Atom 500 servos 510's or 9650s?

As above what do you use? Also do you use grommets?

Personally i like to not use grommets, but ive just found the 510 servo cases all damaged on the heli and held together by grommets...

Also do you use servo nuts, im guessing after swapping about a few times the frame tapped holes wont be tight enough to hold the self tappers...

Cheers, tom

I use

On my Atom500 I use align510s,yes when I crash they do strip gears but @ about £3-80 a time not to bad & esayto rebuild servos,I use 2-2mmhex bolts with lock nuts to hold them in place,when you get used to them you can take the back off the servo & change the gears insitu I am @ presant using a JR3500 on the tail but Ithink I will go back to a full size 8700 or 8900 as i do think it holds better,have just taken off my JR770 & fitted a 3G system plus a RJX head flying alright thou i think it needs playing about with.main problem is th C/G, sorry for the long winded reply.

Youve got a great heli in the Atom thou there are some weak parts any advice you require please ask.

Martin.

I'm using 9650. No gromits and self tapping screws into the frame

Love my Atom big time now I've calmed it down a tad

510's here screwed straight into the frame although I can see worn holes becoming an issue in the future.

My biggest problem is the really poor CoG on mine. I do like it now I've mellowed it a bit but I'm not spending any more money on it to get the stretch kit plus I like it the size it is ...
