DS610 or BLS451?

[millerman]

No easy answers it seems as MKS don't rate their own servos as suitable for FBL use so I imagine that also applies to the rebranded Turnigys :

We are R/C hobby expert makes in Taiwan

Of course this may just be a way to sell more of the new servo they are releasing for FBL use ...

or finding a way to cover their arses when the servo's do burn out and not want to replace em !!

The BLS451 is my favourite servo at the moment. Extremely efficient, rated for 8V and an absolute bargain

Heres a data sheet for MKS it shows FBL use (see attachment)

At 11.5KG/CM torque, surely the BLS950s are suitable for FBL?

So have Futaba revamped the servos themselves, or just changed their arguement ie. can they physically support FBL helis, or do Futaba just claim they do to keep us happy?

What do JR offer in this price range? the 8717s look amazing but are double the price I want to spend and really, I'll never be good enough myself to appreciate servos that good

I have those in an electric 50 with 12s FBL (Rondo) does the job.

I have a friend that has the same setup and does hard 3D no problem. The servos hold well and centre well
