8v FBL Servo setup

[KnifeEdge]

I am in the Market for an 8v setup for use with a vbar.

So far it's between Futaba BLS 451 and JR DS8717HV. (bit of a price difference I know).

Anyone have experience of these on the vbar @ 8v?

Merry Christmas all.

Use my Vbar and BLS servos @ 8v, its the way forward.

Cant remember the firgures, but the servos work a lot harder.

At 6v an FBL cyclic servo will work 4 times faster than if it was FB. So @ 8v they are definitely put through their paces.

on a .50 I'd simply use Align DS 610, cheap and cheerful but excellent performance. They work great in my 600.
On the 700 I use the JR 8717, but they do get hot, especially in summer.

All of those are quite old, probably better servos exist.

Thanks guys, I decided to stick with JR and I have ordered the 8717HV's.

Nice choice of servos but too rich for my pocket.

Gear sets at £56.99 is just ludicrous.

I wish I'd seen that before I decided to kit out three helis with 8717HV's

Holy crap batman

I'll stick with my normal ones I think

well, don't worry.
I haven't managed to break a gear yet on the standard version. Not that I haven't tried...
Instead, order some spare servo arms, they break easily and act as a fuse.
