Best servo to run on 7v

[AdieSmith]

I’m looking to start running 7.4v on the cyclic of a 90-size heli. So far I have been looking at the DS8717HV and DS8917HV Servos has anyone had any experience with these servos? I’m looking for the best speed, accuracy and torque at this voltage price is not a factor.

Have heard of the odd failiure, i know Adam turner is running the HV's on his srimok not sure which ones though

ade, jsut go for the 610's mate, run them on 8v here and no problems.

Also, they are fast as **** :P they really do go. Cracking is a doddle. They even crack as quick (if not quicker) as my other 700 with 8915's in.

They are cheap and cheerful and work a treat.

I'm running DS610s on 8v on my Trex 600. Certainly quick and powerful but no where near as accurate as by old S9451 running on 6v. I prefer the S9451 on 6v because of this factor.

I'm in the market for some new cyclic servos atm. Leaning towards BLS451 due to price and I've heard some are running these on 8v but I will stick with 6v on them.

The new outrage servos look nice (spec wise) on 8v but not heard any feedback either way on these!

I was running 8717's on both machine's and it didn't take much time to get quite a lot of slop developing in them. I believe the 8717HV's have a better Titanium gear set though so maybe that has solved it.

Anyhow, I recently changed one machine over to a set of BLS451's and they are much better IMO. Centering is spot on and very precise. Not Amp hungry either. I like them.

For what your after Adie though, 8717HV's may be the way to go.

Used 8717HV on 2S with FBL 90

Accurate and precise maybe slightly a little power hungry though

If price isnt a worry then your DS8717HV servo's are fine Adie.

If you are poor and looking at a new gearset then check out £60 per set..

That is a stupid price im thinking DS610 servos now as I have run them with no issues at all for a good year on a lower voltage

[Shay Kavanagh]

there good servos ade. Perfect for my flying (stick banging). they have never had a hint of failing. So all good so far.

[moonmanflyer]

I am very happy with the 610's to be fair, value for money can't be beatten as far as i can see

[Shay Kavanagh]

james you on 8v? or just running 6v?

[moonmanflyer]

Just on 6v, and quite happy how they perform

[Shay Kavanagh]

go 8v mate. THEY COME ALIVE :P

6v still perform very well though.

[Asid]

The DS610 is a good servo.

I know people that have run them for months hard on 8V

[Eckchaz]

Sorry for stupid Q but how do you get to run the 610's on 8v?
