Trex 250 Tail Servo Problems

[Freakmode]

OK set it to 5.5 and still red hot in under 20 seconds.

Looks like ordering a new tail servo. Any recommendations on a half decent one for a 250?

Thanks for everyones time and help with this problem.

Hey.

Adding to the list above;

4. Robbe FS61 I think it is has had good feedback on the 250 and even 450 models.
5. Futaba S9257, pricey though and of similar spec to Aligns DS520.
6. JR DS380G, small size but once you get onto 3D starts to struggle on power when major tail hold is required.

There are others but I'm struggling to think of them now.

On my 250, which I recently sold on I ran an Align DS520 which while a mid size servo works great on the tail of this model.

I've had exactly the same problem with a 410 straight out of the box, using it for Pitch. Replaced by the retailer no quibble. Got a feeling it could be a 'feature'
I've used loads of 410/420's and never had one fail in flight. I find the 420 OK for the tail, holds well and no wag.

Just an update - put a S9257 on the tail and the ESC is now running cold.

Defo a shot servo then.
