TT / Ace R/C servos question

[trillian]

I have a set of Ace R/C DS1015 servos and was planning to use them in a Raptor 90.

They have ali cases with fins to dissipate heat. But if I mount them in the Raptor the fins will be covered up as they will be slotted into the servo frame.

Soooo, is anyone familiar enough with these servos to know if they are in danger of overheating if mounted in this type of frame?

I can also use Align DS610s on the Raptor and I am considering putting the Ace R/C servos on an Ely.Q Ultimate where they will be open to the air (they are admittedly a bit overkill for the Ely.Q though).

No opinions on this?

They will run okay - I used them on my NSP very good servos.

i used to use them in a 1/5 on road racing car they are a very good fast and strong servo they would be more than happy as cyclic servos

Thanks for the feedback on this. So is the ali case with fins mostly cosmetic, as in they don't get any hotter than other comparable servos?

(Mind you, I recall hearing about Align servos getting hot and starting to malfunction if they don't get proper airflow).

I'm sure they have the torque and speed it's the Raptor servo frame being so confined that worries me. But at the same time I won't be working them really hard as my flying style is more smooth stuff.

as i recall the ace servos are made by thunder tiger so they prob have the cooling fins for this purpose

Yeah they are also sold under the TT name. But my point being that in the Raptor 90 servo frame the fins are completely covered up as they fit into slots in the frame.

I suppose I can just try them and check after a few minutes flying to see if they feel really hot or anything.

They never get hot in a titan 50 i speak from experiance of using

They'll be fine, ;-)
