Which HV servos for my Rave Ballistic

[heli]

My Rave arrived in the week but I'm pondering on which HV servos to put in it. Kind of set on the BeastX for it but might consider a VBar, so FBL is easier. With a Futaba SBus RX that's also sorted. Just don't know which servos. I'm kind of thinking Outrage 9100 series, but I have Savox in my Fusion that works well. Also Futaba, JR or MKS are an option. I just don't know what to pick and it's driving me nuts! What advice or feedback would you offer?

I've used both the Outrage HV Torq and the MKS HBL HV servos. The MKS are cheaper and easily just as good, and very efficient too - 200mah per hard 3D flight on my 700e. The rest I can't comment on as I've no experience of them

I'm using futaba hv sb servos they are awesome loads of flights no slop what so ever ,ok £100 ea but buy right buy once IMO.

depends what you wanna spend I cant recommend a vbar enough, but you asked about servos....so .....

I highly recommend Spektrums 6090HV servos I dont knwo what they are under the hood but there awesomely good very precise extremely strong (20kg HV) and blazingly fast 0.11ms transit time....
makes for a really nice snappy servo which won't lose speed in hard moves.

only one flaw is there sometimes trick to get (try fast lads)

I've flown a few different servos all much more expensive too, for the money the spektrums are unbeliveable....and I do tend to give em' a tough testing

If you want to be a brand snop then....

futaba BLS (HV series) Outrage servos are v.nice but expenive and same goes for JR not tried savox (knowingly) except ds610 (which I feel are pants!)

I've got a Rave Ballistic and an electric FBL Rave ENV.

Here's a list of what I use in both of them (same gear)

Scorpion 4525-520 Ultimate motor with 13 tooth pinion
Scorpion OPTO 130amp ESC (no BEC)
BeastX flybarless system (faultless !!)
3 x Futaba BLS252 cyclic servos (not a brand snob, they're just very good)
1 x Futaba BLS251 tail servo (same as above)
Futaba 8 channel FASST receiver
2 x OptiPower 6S 30C 5000Mah packs in series (12S)
Gryphon Vega regulator running everything at 6v
Voltz 2S 2500Mah rx Li-Po pack
SAB 690mm main blades
SAB 110mm tail blades

This set up works really well on both machines and is really reliable.

Hope this helps

depends what you wanna spend...

I'm always budget conscious but I'm happy to splash a little more on this bird, hence consdiering VBar. So a £130 per servo is no real issue. What's more important here the speed or the torque? I'm trying to keep to around 0.11-0.13s as this increases the resolution but not sure if I need 1kg/cm or 25kg/cm torque!

I'm not really 3D yet so doesn't need to be the best, but one thing I've learnt is you get what you pay for and like Bish says "buy right buy once"

[swale]

Get the spektrums..they have the best of all three worlds speed, torque and performance, im so suprised more people haven't cottoned on yet!

with regard to torque its great having fast servos but if they have not enough torque they will drastically slow and thus the wont be so fast or have the authority so you wont be getting the best fromt he servo, on lighter machines I tend to worry more about speed on heavier machines, well I still worry about speed but torque is a very important factor!

I've been looking around again, I've looked at the Hyperion. Specifically the dh20x-scd & gcd, anybody tried these? Seem very cheap for HV servos but there good reports on HF and found people using on logo 600s

Not dismissing the spektrums, just covering all the bases.

[swale]

I have never tried them, other than some hyperions on a sebart plane which doesnt count.

just looking at the spec Id leave the GCD it doesnt have enough torque the SCD seems pretty good on the spec sheet.....not sure how they will perform but they seems pretty good value for money, if im honest they wouldnt be my choice if you can comfortably afford better i'd do it, servos are very important and often overlooked!

get a vbar and some nice servos you have a nice machine to compliment them you wont be dissapointed!

Hi

I've been using the futaba bls255hv servos
These are a true Heli servo and also been using the bls256hv tail servo
I used to be a jr fan but had a few probs so switch to futaba
Futaba are a lot less power hungry than a lot of servos
And they won't let you down
Ok bit more money than most but for peice of mind there worth it
And when paying good money on a model the last thing you want is a servo letting you down
Don't get all top gear and then fall at the last hurdle
There is loads using the above set up and all good reports

[foxypike]

Jayfrs using the align hv servos with no faults. bit cheaper too than othser brand

[NiceBlades]

Are the outrage servos worth the money? Like the look of the spektrums but which tail servo is best to use with them on a 90 size machine?

[foxypike]

Id use an 8900g. at thecorrect voltage.never had a problem yet

[Mark_T]

just looking at the spec Id leave the GCD it doesnt have enough torque the SCD seems pretty good on the spec sheet.....

The GCD is a tail servo, hence the lower torque, but still way more than enough for the tail.

I've got a set of these on a Hirobo 50, most noticeable thing about them is low current drain and virtually no buzzing unlike many other digital servos.

Can't comment on their performance on a 90 for 3D, but they seem very hard to beat at the price, but if price is not a limitation you may want to spend more ...

Another servo to throw into the mix is the new HV Align servos.......there very good!
