Curious on what everyone is using for Servo's... especially the Steering servo.

Thanks.

Steering: Airtronics 94359Z
Throttle : Jr 577

Iknow that JRs not upto much and i could do with a little more brake but it gets me round
The sanwa however has been nothing short of superb

I like the 925MG for throttle and the 5925mg for steering in a buggy... in a truggy I use the 5945MG for steering

Hi,

I use Futaba S9351 for steering and throttle. The best I could get from Futaba so far. I think they will have new servos with brushless motor to be released.

What do you thinK about those ACE servos???

montrealer

Exact same steering servo Futaba S9351 192oz of torque under .11 seconds (hard to beat) and Hitec 5945 for thottle.

vti-chris

The Futaba 9351 is .13 not .11.
And for the price $115 from dinball you could get the airtronics or sanwa which by the way are cheapper and have 200oz??? with .10 speed.
The reason for the 200 and ??? is because if you convert the Kg to oz that airtronics gives for this servo don't correspond with the SAME companys specs.
The other time i saw something about this was like ~187oz for the same given Kg...and not 200?!?!?!?!

I never spare a penny on the servos as they are crucial in the performance of your buggy/truggy. It gives me peace of mind when I'm racing.

futaba 9451 for both.
with lots and lots of grip and fast corners it might be a bit weak, but that could be the servo saver.

Airtronics 94358Z is honestly the perfect steering servo, its got more then enough torque, and enough speed that it literally throws the wheel back and forth. It actually took me a while to get used to it.

For braking, well i need a new brake servo ivebeen usng a cheep futaba one.

Fantastic, if I get another buggy I'll use the Ace servos for steering and throttle/brake.

vti-chris

Are they all metal geared?
Do they have bushings on the case?
Do they have parts available IF needed?
Any play on the gears and arm after some use...?

GRANT ED

I'll have to check that out for you tomorrow. Is late here. Will keep you updated.

Here is a link to all the top servo models I have compiled:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=4634335

I use a KO Propo PDS-2344FET for steering. Its one of their older ones now, but I am happy with it.

Best thing is that it has an all metal gear train except one plastic gear that will give out if you have a severe impact that the servo saver doesn't totally protect against. KO sells the plastic throwaway gear in packs of 3 for only 5 bucks! If you are desperate to have an all metal geartrain (if you are the monster truck bling-bling type or something) you can buy the gear in metal for 10 bucks too.

JRZ590M for throttle/brake. Not much to say for this one really. Could be better, could be worse. It has lasted a long time there, but that doesn't say much one way or the other since it doesn't have to deal with anywhere near as much stress as a steering servo.

945MG From Hitec, $65 for sttering and the Spektrum Steering servo for throttle.
