Hitec HS-65HB or HS82MG ?

[msisleman]

Simple one (maybe), which is better, and what are the differences between the HS-65HB and the HS-82MG? I'm a beginner with a Trex 450. I know MG stands for Metal Gear, but thats all I've worked out!

Cheers,

Craig.

HS-82MG are bigger servos and won't fit a standard 450. Otherwise you're spot on. MG is metal gear, HB is karbonite

You can buy a modified 450 sport frame that will allow you to fit HS-82s should you wish.

Thanks. And which is more preferably, karbonite or metal? Guessing karbonite is lighter and metal stronger??

I had the 65HB's on my 450, work a treat. Think the 82's are slower? Go for the 65HB's, as a beginner you don't need metal gears anyway!

I have the 65HB's on my Trex 450 v2. Great servo had around 100 faultless flights. They will also withstand a good knock if you hit the deck.

Karbonite works for me. Although I had used the servos that came with the Twister Storm. They were nylon and stripped every heavy landing.

i use 65 HB's on the 400. they are all you need. as others have said they take a good knock. karbonite dos not wear over time unlike metal. they are much cheaper if you do ever need to replace the gears and in the event of a major crash, the gears will not split the servo case, which can happen with metal gears. i was asking the same questions as you 18 months ago and went for karbonite. i would do the same again

I use Karbonites as they were cheaper to get me flying and they been in 2 years and only just sheered a set of gears after a really hard landing. Also to replace all three servo gears is the same price as replacing one MG gear. Sames servo just different material on gears.

hs 65mg or hs 56mg works fine
