What is your usual radio servo set up?
What is your usual radio servo set up? Please tell me why. I'm not looking for a ford and chevy thing but your opinion why you think your set up works best.
Thanks
Shawn

RE: What is your usual radio servo set up?
I use Futaba and Hitec servos. Both have done well. I size them based on the application. Throttle usually gets a standard servo, although sometimes I use a smaller servo. I size the rudder servo based on the size/speed of the boat/plane.

I have different sets for different models , Traxxas, Acoms, Futaba and Hitec. Servos range from mini to 1/4 scale servos (large) and some with metal gears. for heavy steering, My airboat that i am building now, will be fitted with the Traxxas 3 channel RX and TX and using standard futaba servos, i might fit a servo saver to the steering servo because the big rudders take a lot of knocks fom the prop draft, and cross winds(I might use the metal geared one also??), the 3rd channel for if i use a spoiler to help level the boat at speed.
i get stuff on sale too

I always use TQ3 radio ( via EBAY ) , with Hitec RX and Servos ( via Servocity ) ...
Reason - I like the third channel for a "just in case" and where I am located , 27 meg is not interfered with , get good clean signal ( 75 meg , have had issues with out on the water ) , is easily found ( TQ3's ) and usually cheap as well )
Hitec Rx and servos - ain't ever had a single problem , glitch , or anyting go wrong with one . Always use standard for throttle and 1/4 scale for rudder(s) .
For my water propped boats , I run a little different setup . I use hitec Tx, the rest stays the same , other than that , I DO use 75 meg for those ( even though I do get glitches once in a while - but ... thats what failsafes are for too
)
